Old car dealer stickers
Doe anyone know of someone that can print old car dealer window stickers? I'm looking for one for Soans of Leamington Spa? (Former Ford Dealer). Cheers.
Update.
Although the first sticker DMB Graphics did for me was superb, I later found out that I'd submitted a design which was about 5 yrs out.
However, a chance online chat with a fellow laser owner yielded some positive news. His car was supplied new by the same dealer, only a few months apart from mine and still has the original, albeit tired, dealer sticker on it!
A couple of photos/measurements later and another request to Dave at DMB and he produced another superb copy.
Big thanks to Dave at DMB Graphics and a sticker is on it's way to my fellow laser owner up north!

Re: Old car dealer stickers
Hi Nige,
I know that DMB graphics do a selection.
https://www.dmb.uk.com
If yours isn't listed on the website, I must admit that I haven't had time to check, they may still be able to make one up if you can send a photograph of an original. If you are not sure, give them a call to check.
I had one made up years ago with the dealer number plates and tax disc holder (how old fashioned is that now? )
The window sticker is good quality, it has held up well and has not faded at all from the effects of sunlight.
Andrew.

Re: Old car dealer stickers
AS Andrew says, DMB are definately worth a try Nige.
They used to do dealer plates, tax disc holder and rear screen sticker, but have stopped doing plates now due to the extra hassle with new privacy laws/rules etc

Hopefully you'll post a photo of it on here when you receive it.
As said, the DMB stuff is great quality, I'm sure you'll be pleased with it.

I misunderstood this thread at first and thought someone was actually selling "Old Car Dealer On Board" stickers for retired motor traders.

The DMB dealer ones were good, but I prefer the metal pressed ones anyway.andyd wrote:Spoke to DMB and they didn't know of anyone that does them now....

Re: Old car dealer stickers
I have dealer stamped plates on the Capri, but I'm concerned the space between the A and 8 is too wide....Sent a pic to my MOT man for him to confirm. So may need a new set which my mate can get done but not with the dealers name.Andrew 2.8i wrote:The DMB dealer ones were good, but I prefer the metal pressed ones anyway.andyd wrote:Spoke to DMB and they didn't know of anyone that does them now....

According to the DVLA leaflet INF104, the gap between the age identifier and random numbers must be 30mm.andyd wrote:I have dealer stamped plates on the Capri, but I'm concerned the space between the A and 8 is too wide

Copied this from the link;
Number plates fitted before 1 September 2001
The characters on number plates fitted before 1 September 2001 must meet the size requirements;
Space between the age identifier and random numbers 38mm
Mine is 27mm between the bottom of the A< and the beginning of the >8, so I assume that's ok.....

Re: Old car dealer stickers
That's how I would measure the gap too. So, your plate should be perfectly legal.andyd wrote:Mine is 27mm between the bottom of the A< and the beginning of the >8, so I assume that's ok.....

Andrew, it was MOT'd this year with them on so can't be a major issue.Andrew 2.8i wrote:That's how I would measure the gap too. So, your plate should be perfectly legal.andyd wrote:Mine is 27mm between the bottom of the A< and the beginning of the >8, so I assume that's ok.....

Was looking at your pics and the A and 3 are much closer and look more correct though
