[TR] [Autojumble] For sale - CA black license plates - unissued/unused

[Steve Smith]

I think there is an emotional link for California in the 60s and agree that for 
a time CA registration was a good indication of a rust free body.  Blue plates 
were introduced in CA in '69 so only the earliest TR6s would have black plates.  

Some TR3s would have the reverse - black on gold plates which is cool too!  I 
have a very faded  '69 TR6 (jasmiine/black) out of CA's central valley with its 
original black plates. The plates get as many comments as the car when I'm out 
and about - go figure! 


Make sure you fit black plates with tamper resistant hardware!

Steve

Hi Randall,

I don't know.  I purchased them from someone dealing in used plates.
