About this plate
Oldtimer regime for AGRICULTURAL vehicles, mobile machines, MMBS and trailers of 751 kg or more, which RDW exempts from the 2+2+2 registration-shape rule.
About the format
The pattern shown is ONE representative shape (sidecode 11). This series has no format of its own: RDW expressly exempts agricultural vehicles, mobile machines and >=751 kg trailers from the 2+2+2 rule ("Bij een landbouwvoertuig hoeft het kenteken niet 'historisch' te zijn"), so ANY current NL sidecode may appear on a dark-blue plate here.
