What style number plates do you run - poll

Original yellow 1973 plate with the van on back and a crappy plastic white one on the front - if I could just find a company still doing the original allly backplate with plastic letters ...

I used to have black and silver plates on my older cars but like the originals best as everyone seems to have black and silver these days - hehehehehee

 

the number plate centre ltd unit 13, 272 montgomery street, sparkbrook, birmingham, B11 1DS 01217738107/07880 714196 davidcollier58@hotmail.co.uk original 70's alloy with plastic letters held on with rear rivets £45 a pair this is the cheapest place i found so far for the ones you mention stan, they are the ones i'm gonna get eventually.

 

Cool thanks mate fortunately only need the front I like the slightly faded pattina of the original - makes it look more homely!

 

£25 thats about the same price as the black and silver pressed (BTW anyone buying those alloy ones to forwarn you the black paint eventually flakes off and falls off!) Keep em waxed!

 

I've got raised plastic digit riveted plates - just as they were in the 70s.

 

i had raised numbers on my golf ,only on the back thow .but i could not find anywere that did them so i may a cast of the numbers then put resin in the cast till it dryed ,then planed to paint them black .
turned out well not that it has anything to do with this poll lol

 

Black and silver here but not pressed

 

Mine is a late 72 so Black and Silver is legal

 

Black and silver pressed and never been asked or stopped about it touch wood.
Though the other week I got pulled over in the bug as the policeman thought it was too low. He radioed one of his team and the head of that department also had a low to the ground bug and said it was fine

 

Raised black and silver, not legal on my 76 but where on when I got it, ricky hates em. 8)

 

I've got new ones ,rang that framptons to see how much for the post 73 ones with the raised plastic letters plus I have a wheel on the back so need a square rear plate and it was £64.99 for the set
No chance

 

Hey,
I just wanted to point out that you can legally run pressed Yellow and White plates (ie. Modern). Which I run on my daily hack, the '03 Audi. But I'm only aware of one place that makes them; dubmeister.co.uk . They comply with all the new legislation's like BS mark, reflective background, etc. and you don't have to have the euro logo, but it will save you whacking a sticker on the van if you venture over the channel.



They still give a classic look but are legal O0

Anyway, HTH someone. Personally I run black and silver plates on my '73 bus, couldn't help myself >

got a 79 bay and run pressed black and silver never had issue a friend is a copper and said wont get trouble as wrong sort of vehicle and alot think it a classic vehicle so allowed they only intrested in plates that might be used to commit a crime or deceive

 

Legal plates, don't see the point in anything else as it saves the likelihood of any problems and I can get a replacement anywhere in the UK without a problem.

 

Black and silver

Really ought to change the poll to differentiate between them running these legally or not

1972 so we're legal
