DynaMike ◊ 2010-08-29 23:07	That is a surprise, indeed! They were sold in Holland (I have them listed in 1967 and 1969) and in Belgium (in 1969), and there were even plans to built an assembly plant in Holland, near Vlissingen...

DynaMike ◊ 2010-08-30 00:17	I've thought about that, but Dutch plates were always symmetrical, and this plate doesn't look symmetrical...
bref ◊ 2010-09-01 23:29	Enfin! Dujardin SA imported few Hino Contessa 1300 Sedan and Coupé type PD200 and PD400 in France. The homologation was made April 12th 1966, for no more than 50 vehicule; A great find on IMCDb!
