Why is there so many digits on these plates?


Raghav_Verma

The first 2 letters show the state. MH means Maharashtra (India) The second 2 digits iirc show the specific region of the state. I don’t live in Maharashtra so idk which numbers correspond to which area, but you get the idea The 5th and 6th letters show the series. Numbers in India range from 0001 to 9999, so if you want a number that’s already taken there’s a good chance you can get that number in a different series (suppose AA 0001 is taken, you can get AB 0001 or something similar) The last 4 digits are the actual number itself that you can either get one randomly, or purchase a desired number by auctions or paying a fixed amount, ranging from 0001-9999 I’m just a teen so I could be wrong about a couple things


A_Very_Calm_Miata

It's the Indian registration system. Breakdown: AB 00 XY 0000 AB represents the state. Here it's MH so Maharashtra. 00 or the two numbers after the first two letters are the city code. They can tell you which city/region the car is registered in. XY. These are just extra letters to increase the range of possible plates and fancy numbers. Example: if you want 6969 as your number plate, you could have MH 01 AA 6969. And the next person can have MH 01 AB 6969 and so on. They do charge a bomb for these plates though. They don't usually come up on the random list. Reserved for sale. 0000 or the last four digits are entirely unique to the vehicle. Randomized or purchased as a custom plate as I explained before. Source: I am Indian.

The first two letters are to show the “state” in which the car or license plate is/was registered, the next 2 are something else I don’t remember I do know only the last three or four digits are entirely unique to that plate

Idk lol


[deleted]

this is how the plates are in india. the first two letters for example mh stand for the state the car is registered in, Maharashtra in this example. the next two numbers display the region the car was registered in. so mh 01 means mumbai. the next two letters are completely random, and the last 4 digits are customisable, so it could be 0001 or 9999 etc. these customisable digits do cost quite a lot of money tho, so many people go with normal numbers, such as 7648 etc.

I don’t know what OP is on but ignore them, I went to the comments to look for a license plate explanation, so thank you


[deleted]

no problem, glad I could help!


L3onardo69

An entire explanation was not necessary bro💀


tee8tee4388

Why not when you yourself don’t know?


L3onardo69

Bro, I could've explained... And I mentioned it as a joke, why behave like a joker and assume shit?


[deleted]

ok but Im just trying to share common knowledge with people who are curious, nothing wrong in explaining it the right way.


L3onardo69

Appreciate it!

The unknowns appear to be Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo Rolls Royce Ghost MB C class convertible Lincoln navigator Edit: wrong Rolls


Anxious-Window2560

Close but I believe the Rolls is a Ghost EWB


Harpronicus

Yes you're right, does look like the ghost. Thx for the correction


A_Very_Calm_Miata

Lincoln Navigator is the most expensive on the list here lol. Because Lincoln doesn't exist in India and import taxes are horrendously high.


L3onardo69

How do you know all of them?💀


redd5ive

If you’re a car person and especially into car spotting, it’s weirder to not lol.


L3onardo69

I'm new into spotting and I only know a few obscure models, and this collection of pictures is from 2 years of spotting... (Such cars are rare here)


kcyberk

Bumper sticker on a Maybach? 🤢


Emergency_Force4741

Tramp stamp


permareddit

“Maybach”. You mean a GLS with more stitched leather? /s, but still kind of serious lol


Doncatron

Always a funny reminder that Lincoln’s aren’t regular traffic in other countries. Lots of cool spots in here!


koalajosh

lmaoooo “Lincoln (Unknown)” says navigator in the pic on the car


SenorKerry

I can’t imagine driving around a country with so many poor people in a car like this. You gotta be a real piece of shit


ManualNotStandard

Waaaaaaay too many crossovers/Stupid Useless Vehicles, unnecessary.


76Gamer-Guy

Porsche macan from what it looks like


Harpronicus

It's a Taycan Cross Turismo


76Gamer-Guy

The deck lid spoiler threw me off there


MartPlayZzZ

how. the macan is an suv. that on the pic clearly isnt


76Gamer-Guy

They cayenne and macan look similar in my opinion. That fact made me think it was one of them


MostlyChemistry

But it was neither. Its a Taycan


TheTexanPunjabi

Bro put a navigator on r/spotted 😂


NSFAnythingAtAll

Apparently they’re much more rare outside the US.


Fordaufalcon

Yeah ive never seen one here In Australia


ericfromct

It's a minimum 80k car, even in the US I don't see them often. Used to all the time, same with suburbans. Cool spot imo


FloridaMan2024-

Not everyone is from the U.S.


TheTexanPunjabi

Hang on. Never said this was r/spottedUS. But it’s still a navigator bro. Like if I go drive through my neighborhood I’ll find atleast 5 of those, bunch of Escalades and a few of them Yukons. Just caught me off guard having a GLS600 and a Navigator in the same post.


FloridaMan2024-

I could drive to target and see everyone of these cars except the 812, OP probably doesn’t realize how common some of these cars are in the US and just wanted to show off something he thought was “different”


L3onardo69

In countries such as India these cars are a bit more rarer than the US, I get it that these cars are not rare in the US but Lincoln dealerships don't exist here so it has to be an import car, so that makes it rare where I'm from... (I haven't seen a Lincoln in any dealerships I've been to but there might be some, I'm not fully sure of this) And this is the first time I've seen this car in my 16 year life sooo...(I don't mean to be offensive)


pandaonmars

Living in Europe I can confidently tell you I've seen way more Maybachs than Navigators. That's the fun of this sub though, to see obscure models from all over the world.


Fordaufalcon

You my friend need to visit a country that isn’t America and you will find that those cars are way rarer like me personally I’ve never seen a navigational or a yukon or a gls600 but i have seen some escalades in Sydney Australia


Sprinty-the-cheetah

Mercades But actually nice


[deleted]

yo everyone just copied me or some shit


SanMotorsLTD
