Original Number Plates

[Hugh Barnes]

I think any car would have had what the first owner and/or the garage would have supplied. For instance, my Cabriolet has cast aluminium letter rivetted to the spare wheel carrier. The front plate has been replaced, so I dont knwo what would have been there originally. My Box Saloon had original plates manufactured by Hills - pressed steel number plates, again with rivitted aluminum letters. I'm sure there would be other examples..

Basically thats a long winded way of saying go for what you think suits the car best. The cast ali letters and numbers are (were?) still available from The Cooke Group in Wigston
