Foreign 280SL on Swedish west coast

[Jowe]

Spotted this car at the sea village of Hunnebostrand last week. Not a Swedish plate. Maybe an old Norwegian one. The car looked in perfect condition. Guess model year

Hi Johan,

You are correct, that's a Norwegian plate of the sort used up until spring 1971.
The letter indicates the region/"Fylke". In this case "L" was for cars from Rogaland in the southwest part of Norway.
