Hungary issued DJN-623 to a hero vehicle. the DMV still thinks it's a bus.

This guy's 1976 VW bus became a Matchbox toy, with his real license plate

Dávid Sipos owns a 1976 Volkswagen T2 bus that appeared as a hero vehicle in "Matchbox: The Movie." Matchbox later released a miniature of the bus, and Sipos noticed the model carries his actual Hungarian license plate, DJN-623, which never appears in the film. He documented the story online, including a photo of the bus beside its original owner, who took delivery in 1976 and now holds the toy version.
