Not forgotten

He is not forgotten mate.
I whent all over southern Europe in my Ford capri EN124 B, those BFG plates got you waived straight through most customs posts but were a dead give away, I suppose in the '70s, we never thought it would spread but we were soon proved wrong.

He will be remebered like all of them...

They may have changed the plates to English style...I was In Belgium in May waiting for ferry at Dunkirque...there was several cars with these plates on...they are still the German style...white plates Black letters etc...still stand out as BFG...waste of time..unless they replicate what we use over here.
