Milford Cubicle Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I am quite fond of the modern-ish Rover numberplates which are in a raised letter-style font. My K-reg 825D had them.My Golf has quite a cool font on the front 'plate too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrappylad Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Copied from another forum..."You may have seen in the press that from 1st November 2008 it will become an offence to sell or manufacture registration plates that do not conform to the latest British Standards and design criteria laid down by the DVLA.Consequently the ability to purchase registration plates displaying non-legal fonts/spacing/images/slogans etc will be outlawed."Better be quick if anyone wants some retro-style number plates... me included!

Lord Sterling Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 ...Consequently the ability to purchase registration plates displaying non-legal fonts/spacing/images/slogans etc will be outlawed."...Bloody pen pushers must be proud of themselves, so you cant even buy "non-legal" fonts/spacing/images/slogans just for show (As in personal use, in the house/garage) fantastic I've alway quite like these, very 80's: Lord Sterling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Or Ireland.Not that it matters, I still haven't been able to get a normal pre-2001 plate. Some sellers even deny there ever was such a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 No, Northern Ireland is still the UK. There are, or were, people in the ROI who sell UK-type "show" plates in any style you can imagine except the one I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
