Classic Plates

[03Dnotforme]

Anyone know where I can get plates made in a sympathetic style for a '67 Volvo 1800S? Most places seem to only do standard EU plates.

Thanks,

Dave

Hi 03D,

The only place I have come across authentic old style plates (i.e. large font) is a guy from Co. Meath who usually attends autojumbles and car shows.

I agree, the new font (even when 'silver-on-black') plates look terrible on older cars.

I'll see if I can find his details and PM them to you.

These are the type of plates he sells -

N.B. - 3 1/8 inch digits (original Irish plates 3 1/2 digits)
