Privately Owned Vehicles
From 1912 to 2001 Gibraltar number plates consisted of the letter "G" (for Gibraltar) followed by a series of digits issued in numerical order. The maximum number of digits was five, so the first registration plate would have been "G 1" and the last was "G 99999". A new system was introduced in October 2001, in anticipation of running out of registration numbers once reaching "G 99999". The new system consists of the letter "G" followed by four digits (1000-9999) and another letter. The last letter represents the series. For example, series A consists of all registration plates from "G 1000 A" to "G 9999 A". The next series is B, and so on. Currently (October 2012), registration plates in Gibraltar are in series D. The European flag is also now featured, along with Gibraltar's international vehicle registration GBZ.

Famous quotes containing the words privately, owned and/or vehicles:
“Rape is a culturally fostered means of suppressing women. Legally we say we deplore it, but mythically we romanticize and perpetuate it, and privately we excuse and overlook it.”
—Victoria Billings (b. 1945)
“In the early forties and fifties almost everybody “had about enough to live on,” and young ladies dressed well on a hundred dollars a year. The daughters of the richest man in Boston were dressed with scrupulous plainness, and the wife and mother owned one brocade, which did service for several years. Display was considered vulgar. Now, alas! only Queen Victoria dares to go shabby.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
“Only by the supernatural is a man strong; nothing is so weak as an egotist. Nothing is mightier than we, when we are vehicles of a truth before which the state and the individual are alike ephemeral.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
