[Healeys] British number plates

[simon.lachlan at alexarevel.plus.com]

I ran into this problem when getting a company, here in UK, to make up plates for a Healey in France. The key was to say that the plates were “For Exhibition Purposes Only”. Both parties knew that there was no exhibition on the horizon but he was, presumably, able to fill in all the blanks on his form……………

(The French use dots and or dashes between some of the number groups in their plates. The British company could match their script but I had to hand paint the dashes!)

You might have a problem purchasing a number plate in the UK. You will have to have proof of ownership to get one. This law was bought in because thieves were changing plates on stolen cars.

 

However, you might be able to purchase a kit to assemble your own but the government might have already thought of this.

Can anyone suggest a source other than Moss for pre-war style British number plates?  Long ago I bought some which were ready to put on—black background (probably baked enamel, as they’re still as-new after years on the front of my MG-TD) with raised aluminum letters.  The paint-it-yourself ones that Moss currently sells are not satisfactory.
