[Healeys] Replacement chassis ID plate question

[Bill Shipton]

Hi listers,

A couple of people have kindly replied with photos of their original ID 
plates (the one with the thin silver border around the edge), so my
remaining question is, where I can buy one of these (not the repro with 
the full black background) - someone out there must sell them?

Thanks in advance,


Bill
