Special Number Plates
- Military vehicles in Gibraltar display regular UK military plates in the format nnLLnn. Most military vehicles in Gibraltar use the letters "RN" (reserved for Royal Navy vehicles), although some use other letters indicating that they are from Army or RAF. UK military vehicles do not carry national identity ovals, but sometimes display a small Union Flag.
- The Chief Minister's official car has the registration number "G1".
- The Governor's official car, following tradition, displays a Crown, in place of a registration plate with a number.
- Some motorcycles display their taxation disc attached to the licence plate.
- Temporary/export plates are similar to, and in the same series as, the regular issues. However at the right hand side of the plate is a green band, showing month and year of expiry. Until 2001 temporary tourist (duty free) plates had registrations from the normal series except that the prefix used was GG. This series reached past GG90000, and was probably superseded by the dated green band style when the suffix letter was introduced.
- Dealers' plates are light blue with the letters DLR and a serial number in white. These are usually magnetic plates, but also can be simply written on paper or cardboard etc.

Famous quotes containing the words special, number and/or plates:
“We cannot set aside an hour for discussion with our children and hope that it will be a time of deep encounter. The special moments of intimacy are more likely to happen while baking a cake together, or playing hide and seek, or just sitting in the waiting room of the orthodontist.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
“Mining today is an affair of mathematics, of finance, of the latest in engineering skill. Cautious men behind polished desks in San Francisco figure out in advance the amount of metal to a cubic yard, the number of yards washed a day, the cost of each operation. They have no need of grubstakes.”
—Merle Colby, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“I have experienced such simple delight in the trivial matters of fishing and sporting, formerly, as might have inspired the muse of Homer or Shakespeare; and now, when I turn the pages and ponder the plates of the Angler’s Souvenir, I am fain to exclaim,—
“Can such things be,
And overcome us like a summer’s cloud?””
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
