DynaMike ◊ 2008-07-06 19:21	Or 3800?...
Citsa ◊ 2008-07-06 23:39	DynaMike - I am not quite sure myself whether this is a 3800 or 4100 - the grille suggests a 3800, while the protruding wheel caps and the vinyl roof suggests it might be a 4100 "LS". But then, there were 3800s with vinyl roofs. Overall, I would keep it a 4100 -- Last edit: 2008-07-06 23:40:09

Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2010-08-17 15:59	The 6 is obviously different on real Swaziland plates: http://www.worldlicenseplates.com/world/AF_SWAZ.html As ingo pointed out, the characters are in FE-Schrift, which no-one used in the 1980s: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FE-Schrift
