Guys, If you do have your I.D. tags re stamped because of originals are
not up to the new restoration look ect.
save the old ones and keep them in a safe place. A few years ago at the
Bonhams Auction at the Greenwich Conn, Concours, I heard the Conn..
State Police were looking into just that and wanted proof of the
original plate if there was a new stamped one on the car. I also had an
XKE coupe I restored at the shop, customer wanted the plate re newed (
stamped) for concours showing, had Todd Clarke do it ( fantastic job)
Told the owner to keep original and he lost it ( never found it either)
He went to sell the car and could have gotten a high dollar amount right
from the first buyer , but they demanded the original plate as proof of
originality. He lost the sale to that prospective buyer.So keep the
original plates !
