looks like a fairly recent picture with the newer style euro tag. Still, in a pinch it would do the trick apparently _________________ regards

Any idea where the number plate is from? Not German from what I can see, as the country code seems to have 2 letters. Pretty desperate measures to be using a Kubel for this purpose, especially as it seems to have been a well cared for vehicle! I'll do many things with my Kubel, but draw the line when ploughing is required!
The picture from what I can see from the colour degradation is from the 1980's. This is happening to many of of the 80's photos I have, and when I mentioned this to somebody recently (In his early 80's) who had been a professional photographer all his working life, and still taking photos, told me that this due to companies like AGFA, not wanting to pay for for proper fixers (?), which results in what we see today. The greens in pictures seem to becoming yellow. |

color stabilizers.
But that style license plate was only introduced with the transition to European Union (EG) which, at least in Germany, was as early as 1994. |

How about Slovakia? BTW, the rear lights are from Škoda Spartak. |

Seems the plate is indeed Slovak, after they joined the EU in May 2004, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_registration_plates_of_Slovakia whatever the photo condition might indicate. Maybe dropped in a puddle of water?
ZV would seem to indicate Zvolen District, oddly an area I visited in 1990, just after 'Westeners' were allowed into the country.
