In Finland, we need to have both front and rear licence plates. As soon as the police spot you without a plate, they pull you over and fine you.
But from what I've heard, practically all Caterham and Lotus Seven owners in the country (Cant be more than a few dozen, hard to register here) drive without front plates.
The trick is to drive without the plate, and when the cops pull you over, just say: "Oh, it must have fallen off on the motorway, etc." They make an addition to your registration "Need to order a new front plate", and if you don't have one at the next MOT, you wont pass. A new front plate costs 30? and the addition in your registration says that you have 3 months to put a new plate on. So basically, you can drive without a front plate for 3 months for 30?, which equates to 120? a year. If the police pull you over after you have ordered a new plate, you can show them the receipt (sp? is it "receit"?) and they can't fine you

Once the 3 month time is over just order a new plate, no need to put it on
