## About this plate

THE MUSEUM SERIES PROPER, the one Finnish mark with a fixed first letter, and therefore the only Finnish plate string that identifies its own class.

## Who can have one

minimum age years: 30. rule: Traficom: "Museoajoneuvolla tarkoitetaan ajoneuvoa, jonka valmistusvuoden päättymisestä on kulunut vähintään 30 vuotta ja se on säilytetty alkuperäistä vastaavassa kunnossa tai entisöity asianmukaisesti." The opinion on museum-vehicle eligibility is given by a national registered museum-vehicle organisation (SAHK ry, FHRA ry, Classic Data, Autohistoriallinen Seura ry), not by Traficom. Note the same page's counter-intuitive fact: "ajoneuvolaki ei aseta rajoituksia museoajoneuvojen käyttöajalle", Finnish law places NO seasonal or mileage limit on a museum vehicle; any limit comes from the insurer.
