It spun me out a bit too!

Nepean Classic Cars at Penrith were selling the MK1 ID plates new. This was 10 years ago though. They were about $25.

I have bought a few blank plates from different suppliers, they are all slightly different to each other which is actually good for hunting out fakes.

I don't care if a car has a reproduction plate, but if a car has a reproduction plate I want to know the story behind it.
It can't be a "genuine unrestored original barn find matching numbers car" with a repro plate.

Anyone know the significance of the different methods used to stamp these two ID tags?

The first one appears to be stamped by machine except for the last bit of the engine number, while the other is all by hand.

I say we need a like button !!

The second plate is an early CKD car, the plates were like this until around 63, by which time someone got a sore hand stamping and the factory bought him a present!

any chance you can do a check through that little database for 11537 ?? my body is missing Id/body plates also.

thanks
Leroy

All BMC plates (not just Minis) were hand stamped till around 1962/63 when they got a machine.
But there are a couple of hand stamped plates after that time, I guess the machine mucked up or the operator was sick.


No luck Leroy.

Thanks all the same

I've been trying to sort out the registration details for this car, I don't have the old plates or know what they were. I tried a REVS check, using the bodynumber 13190018620, but got back:

Not very helpful, is there any other searches I could do to find out the old licence plate number?
I went to the rego department today and was told: In SA, If you don't have the old rego plate number you have to take the car over the pits, which I am not keen on doing
Does that sound right?
