Victorian motorists have another new style of number plate to choose from, this time targeted at fans of Japanese cars.

The new plates, styled after the tall green-on-white number plates seen on privately owned consumer cars in Japan, became available to Victorians today.

Two styles are available: the first features the Japanese ‘Kanji’ characters for “car” and “Japan” (or rather, Nihon) to the left and top of the plate, while the other style features the ‘Katakana’ for “Victoria” (bi ku to ri a).

Although there is a clear inspiration in the design of these plates, neither is quite identical to a traditional Japanese plate.

Both instead feature the standard VicRoads font for the registration combination, while applying a vintage brush-style calligraphic effect to the Japanese script.

today confirming that a new range is on the way.
