About this plate
OLDTIMERS UNDER THE NATIONAL FORMAT, 01-10-2001 to 14-11-2010. Note the narrowing that art. 4 § 3 performs: an ordinary plate could take any of three shapes, but an oldtimer plate was confined to three letters and three digits, so "O" plus two letters plus three digits is the complete grammar.
