I love the simple design and despite the slipping trans which needs to be driven in manual mode it's still quite fun and swift to drive.

Yeah all the vendors sent me stickers, but I didn't know where to put them. So since she's a bit of a sleeper, I figured under the hood would be a good place. 
Now as to that plate; It's a very unique one. It is the 161st " environmental " plate ever issued in AZ. I believe it was '93 or '94. But they messed up, and didn't use reflective paint for the yellow numbers, so at night the plate just looks like a neat picture of a saguaro cactus without numbers ( perfect for nighttime crime activity ).
They figured out their screw-up, and reissued new plates with black reflective paint a few months later. So I ended up with 4 plates with the same number. Only need one. So when I bought Sveedy 25 years later, I took that plate into the DMV, to use. However they had no pictures of it anywhere in there records/books, but they knew it was a real AZ plate. Supervisor finally gave me the OK to use it, so I'm using a plate that was only issued for a few months in the early 90's. I have yet to see another one on the road.

Hi all!
This is my V40 T4 Panama Yellow which has been at home since 2015 if I recall correctly, currently planning a complete restoration to bring it to its former glory! Will open a thread since I need tons of advice
