Does anyone know a good supplier?
Of course they are just for shows as the stupid law doesnt allow sale of a new pre 2001 font plate for road use.
I've bought them before and been very happy, from Ebay sellers, Ebay was awash at the time, but it looks like most of the sellers have gone, maybe Ebay has been made to stop them for legal reasons.
I found two sellers, one sent an image of the plate I want, but it looked quite bad, some of the letters werent the right shape, it looked like they had tried to replicate the font but not very well. The second seller hasnt shown me a sample even though I've asked, it might be fine but after seeing the first one I want to see what it will look like before I buy it.
Does anyone know a supplier?
Thanks

This question came up a couple of weeks ago. www.fancyplates.com/buy-plates/uk-show-plates/Put your reg in and then a fonts drop down box appears bottom left - there are three pre-2001 fonts. I used a different supplier for my acty which had a better 1980s font.

That's great, thanks.
I apologise for my laziness / forgetfulness in not referring to that thread. Yes, I checked out ebay and was very disappointed after the good success I've had there before.
It looks like fancyplates has exactly what I want, I'll be placing an order tonight.
Thanks again.

If thats the case they may not be supplying pre 2001 font plates as its not legal to supply them for the road now. If they want the person and car ID they are doing the job properly and almost certainly selling modern plates, if they were selling a pre 2001 plate they would have no need for the ID, unless its just their own policy. Thanks for posting though.

I don't know what their policy is, Maybe a quick call would confirm and verify great bunch of lads.
