Title: Euro License Plate Holder and Tag
Post by: tdun824259 on October 30, 2004, 11:27:50

I'd like to find a Euro License Plate Holder and a License that I've seen on many SL's that reads:  "MB 280 SL".  I've done a search on this site sl113 and can't find what I'm looking for.
Thanks Tim D.

You can also try these two.  The first one lets you see what your plate will actually look like.  The secomd site will give you history, city codes and examples.

I had very good luck with Mattman Enterprises
http://www.mattman-enterprises.com/home.html
Very pleasant people to deal with, prompt delivery, and a good price ($15.25 per plate until 10/31, $20.95 thereafter).

I got the currently correct German plates with a D in the blue field on the left, and the seal and TÜV stickers for both front and rear plates.  I believe the plates meet German standards, except that the number I used is CA 230SL.  CA is fine for California, but is no longer a valid place code in Germany, and the last part should have 1 or 2 letters first, then up to 4 digits.  I call it my poetic license.

Hi folks--

I had a custom German plate made that reads "1969 280SL" and it is as authentic as it gets--it even passed scrutiny from my Austrian Friend who said it had all the right labels as well.

I think I paid about $30 for it

Thanks All,
Exactly what I was looking for!  I appreciate the quick response by the knowledgable members of this group.  My vehicle is US, but I've ordered Euro headlights and now the plate will add to the aura.
