Subject: RE: Car number plate
I too, had a heritage certificate done for my car (serial # 612). What is
interesting is that my number plate was still screwed to the chassis rail and
the only thing it said on it was "612". It was covered with several layers of
paint, which I carefully removed until I could read most of what was originally
written on the plate. I could find no trace of "AN5L" etc., just plain "612".
Does anyone else on the list have any comments? George? Reid? Bob Evans?
Thanks
Daniel Thompson

Subject: Car number plate
I received my Heritage Certificate today...great service, it took only 2
weeks by snail (well, more precisely an airborne snail) mail from the time I
sent the application.
I have a new blank vehicle number plate and now want to have my car's number
stamped on it, as close as possible to the original.
My car number on the Heritage Certificate is shown as AN5-L/636. Can anyone
confirm that the dash and slash should be there, and whether there should be
any spacing between any of the characters or groups of characters? Is the
number centered in the available space on the plate, or offset to one side?
What style of lettering was used...plain block? with or without serifs? Was
it stamped, or engraved, or?
I know this is detail to the extreme, but then, why not? I figure it's just
as easy to do things correctly as not......
Thanks in advance,
Doug Ingram
