Amazing, I picked it up in a junk shop over here for a couple of pounds! At some point they must have shipped container loads of old US plates over as they seem to turn up all over the place. I guesssome will have come off vehicles that have been imported too, a lot of ex servicemens vehicles end up staying here. I have a feeling my truck came to the UK that way as it came from an area with a lot of USAF bases. I pick them up when I see them cheap as I have an idea to collect one from each state but I prefer em old and battered. I don't know how it works over there, here in the UK plates are specific to the car and stay with it for life generally although they can be transferred at a cost.
