## About this plate

PERSONALIZED PLATES, from 2003. Priced at EUR 750 initially and EUR 900 a pair under DD 132/2022 art. 8. Distinct from the RESERVATION right of DD 132/2022 art. 7, which lets a buyer book an ordinary-series number within the next 400 or 1,000 numbers for EUR 50 or EUR 100, that is a booking mechanism on the ordinary series, not a series of its own, and is not modelled.

## About its years

2003, NOT 2004. Decreto 11 novembre 2003 n. 149 creates the special series; Decreto 26 luglio 2004 n. 107 merely widens its grammar. Secondary accounts date the scheme to 2004, which is the amending instrument rather than the creating one, a small instance of the same error class the period discipline exists to catch.

## Format notes

The grammar has been rewritten three times and is now a CONSTRAINT rather than a template: DD 132/2022 art. 6 replaced the enumerated patterns with "La serie alfanumerica speciale deve essere composta obbligatoriamente da almeno due caratteri alfabetici ed almeno da un carattere numerico."
