Re: Old car dealer stickers
The way I read the rules, only cars registered before 1975 can display those plates. That's not on a rolling basis, it's a fixed date. Therefore, your car will never be eligible to display them.Jasonmarie wrote:I am waiting for 8 years before I can put my number plates back on

The seller is sending me through the plates that were on the car last year, so hopefully all sorted.....

Re: Old car dealer stickers
Funny how in the U.K. they are so funny about number plates . But I think the Capri would look with out a front plate .

Re: Old car dealer stickers
That's bizarre as that appears to contradict the DVLA leaflet. Still, if Dr B is sending you another set of plates you can't argue with that service,andyd wrote:MOT tester confirmed this is correct https://www.google.co.uk/search?biw=153 ... v-2fmDcSAM:

I must admit though that the gap between the A and 8 on your current plate does look huge.

I had a couple of pics of the car with the other plates, and he said he still had them and would post them to meAndrew 2.8i wrote:That's bizarre as that appears to contradict the DVLA leaflet.

Not dealer stamped as the current ones are, but does it really matter....

No not the original plates, but the current incorrect plates have the Sharmans dealer stamp on them....Andrew 2.8i wrote:Not really, are the plates on the car at the moment the original dealer plates?andyd wrote: but does it really matter....

Just a nice touch imo but not worth the extra cost atm...

Very impressed with DMB Graphics Ltd. I'll be putting it on in due course but in the meantime, here's the sticker, albeit in it's "as delivered" form.Andrew 2.8i wrote:That's great news Nige!Brooksy wrote:Update: Dave At DMB Graphics Ltd has kindly offered to make one and for a very decent price too.

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.
