I'm all for safety upgrades, but do you really think you'll be stopping quick enough for someone to rear-end you? :lol: You're much more likely to rear-end the car in front when he slams on his ABS

True Martin.... I decided some years ago that the best place for my vintage tin is at home, living in London too, but I did use MRT308 a lot for shows in earlier days, driving all over the place, and just the one stop light too :wink:

Do I want flat pressed aluminium, or the triangulated 'Toblerone' style letters?

Never been before so I'll need someone to hold my hand etc.

Still waiting for NOS front mount to arrive from 'House of Ghia' in the states....

Please can someone point me to a website/company that can provide me with the correct size/style number plates so I can get some made up when it's time for registration?

You need the toblerone style letters but there are different variations of these so if you want to be spot on, Proff O will know exactly what is correct for 57.

Personally I hope you can source a UK non age related plate as I'd hate to see it with just another age related DVLA issue.....

Hi

I'm on 6 volt, so upgraded to LED. After fitting I found the light very pink and unnatural. So reverted back to standard. Then again my wiring is A1 so all my lights are bright and worked perfectly. Borrow mine LED bulbs if you want.

Cheers

What do you mean?

If you're talking about letters first and vice versa etc, as the car is from abroad and LHD, I really don't care - it matters to me not one jot.

I'd be more concerned if it was a UK car that had lost it's plate previously.

I believe Martin's talking about those [IMO] horrible, so called "age related" plates the DVLA issue to imported classic vehicles. You can spot them a mile off because the alphabetic part always starts with an 'X', such as: "123 XUB" or "456 XUY".
