Numberplates.
The front numberplate on my 1986 T25 has been damaged. Is it possible to get a replacement with the older wide letters (2 1/4 inch) rather than the current type? The new typeface doesn't look right to me on an old vehicle.

Careful, I started looking at pressed plates for a while. Most are only sold as 'show plates' so not road legal. There is a website called dubmeister that sells road legal pressed and they have some blurb about it all.
Basically if you can buy a reg plate without showing various paperwork its likely not legal.

Re: Numberplates.
The damaged one is a standard reflective one, not pressed, but with the old wide letters. I have only been offered the new narrow font so far.

Re: Numberplates.
Legally, all numberplates supplied since 2001 HAVE to conform to the current standards. Only "not for road use" plates can be supplied that use the old font or white/silver on black for old stuff.RICH1505 wrote:I have only been offered the new narrow font so far.

Re: Numberplates.
Thanks for the replies. I have found that Plate-maker do the old font, not for road use.
I have obtained a pair, purely for decoration, of course, and they are excellent.
