X - Tax
Free Exports
Vehicles
purchased tax free for export to the EU do not display a local area code
on their plates, they display an "X" code with the second letter of the
code showing the month of purchase. This practice was introduced in 1993
- on pre-September 2001 cars the
system uses the code "XP" with a serial letter between A (Jan) and M
(Dec) for the month.
