[TR] repro comm plates

[CarlSereda at aol.com]

On 'older' COMMISSION PLATES (like a 1963 TR4, CT22326L ) the background info
is etched-in, not just screen-painted on top like later car plates or
repros.. Even if most paint is gone on originals like this one, the information
 is
still very readable in the aluminum etch (of course the stamped #s are as
normal). This plate carries years of patina from its harsh environment and loca
tion
- assaults from battery to hydraulic fluids, and from the dropping of many a
tools when used as shelf-space where plate is attached.. most likely this one
will be riveted back in 'as-is' over fresh body paint
when ready.

'63 TR4 since '74

So when a new enthusiast comes across a Triumph whose comm plate has been
subjected to a lot of weathering so all the paint has come off and only a curio
us
a stamped number remains where once there was more, what then? Happens on
plenty of them. Jonmac
