I'd say that's rather some Singer... SM 1500 or Hunter? |

I'd say Hunter, 1954-6, going by the large rear window. |

Looks like a black plate. Rather British than Ösi, or? |

Austrian plates were white-on-black until 1989, and British cars were quite popular in Austria. |

I know. Somehow I think, that the font may looks British, so my question. |

It would have had a GB plate. Back then the AA and RAC gave you one if you used their services to travel abroad (and IIRC self-adhesive stickers weren't in general use) but nobody took their cars on the Continent without one. Even before Europlates people don't seem to bother so much nowadays. |

That's right. It was -still is!- even the law, to have the nationality-sign on the back of the car, if you don't have the Euro-style plates. If the police catch you without one, it can cost a fine. IMHO the cops penalise that not intensively enough. The country-stickers became less nad less common in the last years, even at cars with the old style plates - and the European plates became more and more confusably since the early 90ies. After the opening of the Eastern block, the German plate-multi http://www.utsch.com/ has overrun whole Europe (and wide parts of Asia and Africa, too, even Down Under), so too many plates are looking too similar.  |

I mentioned this because I did it myself in 1999 - taking a Porsche Boxster from here to Skopje (MK) via NL, D, A, I & GR without Europlates or a GB sticker  |

Licence plate between the bumper blades, late SM 1500 and not a Hunter which had it on the boot. |
