## About this plate

THE 1974-1988 DESIGN WINDOW, this is where Luxembourg's yellow comes from, and the date is exact. No European element of any kind: the EC emblem arrives with the next window and the euroband with the letter arrives in 2003. So a Luxembourg plate that is yellow, 340 x 110, and carries nothing at its left-hand end is a 1974-1987 first registration, which makes this the most datable design in the country.
