KhunBENQ Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) The "TC" plates were a topic a while ago. Just another proof that these are next season models under field test with camouflage (not having official certification yet) Can someone tell what manufacturer they are?

I don't understand your question in regard to the "TC". TC is issued to car manufacturers for their vehicles under test (might stand for "test car"). A rare and very special case. There are no personalized number plates to my knowledge. All you can get are vanity numbers at auctions with prices going up to two digit million Baht numbers. And those are still in Thai script. Romanization can be done for traveling abroad (Malaysia). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get personalised plates to a certain extent - you can request what numbers (up to 4) that you want on the plates for a few thousand extra but the ones that are considered "lucky" will cost a lot more. I was passed by one of those black and white jobs up in Khon Kaen last Friday, didn't realise it was a test car, just sat there thinking what sort of plonker would do that to their car? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a10ams Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Should've taken a few more pics and contacted a car magazine. Might be worth a 'few quid' to you. Motoring papparazzi would kill for these. There are people who make a living taking these pics, hiding up trees at the Nurburgring etc waiting on something new from Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari going past on test. That's where the big money is. Not so much for run of the mill Jap family cars though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rare and very special case. Yes. A local car magazine often has photos of new models sent in by readers. A pre-release Nissan terra being one example from last year. (I removed the Thai script from the original caption, as per forum 'English only' rules). http://www.headlightmag.com/spyshot-nissan-terra-navara-ppv-thailand/ And this is what the cars in the OP look like without the camouflage. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeW Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Not sure what SAIC is going to do, but they are either 1. Going to put an MG badge on it once it arrives in Thailand 2. Keep the Maxus name and make it a sub-brand of MG like what Hyundai has done with Genesis in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
