Mexico is virtually impossible to see in the Southeast, and in Texas, only from El Paso, to San Antonio and South, possibly in the Victoria area, I've never been to Victoria so I'm not sure, I believe yes though... Despite this...My FIRST Mexican spot was in Casselberry FL, and it was Guanajuato, Purple and Tan Stripe... WE DIDN'T HAVE CAMERA PHONES BACK THEN Hell cell phones were just starting to rally... So... No pic !

Btw. This was in 2001

I have been to Florida more times than I can count now, and I think in total I have seen no more than 6 or 7 Mexican plates. I thought I had more photos but it seems I only have 3, I guess the others were impossible to get, or were too blurry and I already deleted them...

Oh don't get me started on the amazing stuff missed from before Camera phones

Guanajuato is the only Mexican state I have visited, but it was in 2005 or 2006 when those plates were everywhere (I do remember them!). I had my camera but I only remember taking a photo of a police car... Maybe I took more, I really hope that I got more photos but probably not... If I ever find that elusive hard drive that has evaded me ever since I actively started posting here in 2015, trying to find more old photos to upload!

My 2 other Mexican spots... I'm surprised this truck (or commercial?) format isn't available to upload as it's the same base:

And the national series - I was so shocked (and happy) to spot this one on the highway!!

Maybe it will be possible to add the other bases to the list, you should ask Homer!

I think I have asked enough favours recently
I only have 1 each of these spots so I can leave it

It sounds like other formats will come eventually. I'm assuming they were just prioritizing getting the gallery open.

I also have a few different series, however most of these were spotted in Mexico. The only non-represented series I spotted in Canada was this one with a border zone format (Im sure South American Cars has many of these). This is my only spot from Baja California.



Obviously truck series would be great to see eventually. Vehicles like the Volkswagen Saviero and the Ram Adventure are really neat to see.

I'm sure they will follow, and I know a lot of time went into the preparation of this gallery so I'm definitely not complaining about their absence!
I've been impressed by how many Mexican spots you have from Canada, I never really imagined it would be a popular Mexican spotting ground

There is a fairly large Mexican population here however I do seem to spot Mexican plates often in the 'touristy' spots. Its funny reading your comments above about pre-camera phone spots, because I distinctly remember seeing a Hidalgo plate at a local mall. A mexican state that I have not spotted anywhere else.

But until I return to Texas, there will be no new spots... Still have to a handful more to upload from the Google Photos archives !

Hey, I missed a Volkswagen Amarok in SC with MEX plates I may have another opportunity, but for now, all I have is a Volkswagen Vento (JNR-23-56)
