Format, years and the law

Format
LL-99L, for example XN-58Z (L is any letter, 9 any digit)

No H suffix, no special colour: district letters as usual, and the tell is brevity, a serial short enough for a plate trimmed by 60 mm. Austria marks its classics by what is missing.

The format above follows the issuing rules: a registration that fits it is one this series could have issued.

Years issued
2018 to today. Still issued.
Vehicle class
Historic: vintage/oldtimer regimes (German H, ES historico). Issued for car, van, truck, bus, and trailer.
Colours
Characters #000000 Background #FFFFFF
