Is there a legal supplier of customised car registration number plates for display purposes only?

A while back Street Machine Magazine had a competition where you could win a car (a 1967 Ford Galaxie). The build was sponsored by Southern Comfort (the drink) and it had custom plates that said "SoCo Cruiser" or "Southern Comfort" or something.

It mentioned the name so maybe if you found a back issue or shot them an email they may be able to help you out

Hay, it's not about the car, it's not about the venue, it's about the people that come here. Peter Dwyer, Mayor of Hay NSW.

As long as you don't get a fake plate that says wither
MINI or
COOPER
and go through every speed camera in QLD

you could diplay you car with no plates as long as soon as your on a drive way or road you have your normal plates you can have anything.

Thanks Doogie, and others.
I'm wondering if this could get a bit tricky because I'm wanting to recreate a set of the original 1970 NSW plates in black letters on a yellow background for display purposes (car is currently registered in Victoria). I assume they would emboss Display Only or similar at the top instead of the NSW state embossing as per legitimate plates.
Has anyone done this - i.e. official looking plates rather than obvious 'fun' plates?

we have a plate made for my daughters mini trailer the same as the cars plate it was done in vinyl letters and numbers on a colourbond steel plate same size and colour as the original plate when it is under a plate cover you can not tell it is a copy.

The Leyland factory actually used to make them for all their marques
I have an original genuine factory "mini" one here

No offence intended here but--> anyone writing a book about minis 30 years ago may not have experienced such worn or stuffed-with components as we are finding these days.

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

Every year at the Mudgee Small Farms Field Days - in July - the local TAFE has a display. The kids there have a stamping machine and make plates on a variety of colours and sizes.

I had a couple made with our property names on them to hang on a gate.

This is what Ive got. Its just missing the QLD across the top.

Hanra - it's the one to the left of the Mini one on your shelf that I'm trying to source.

I bought this back in 1997 through a company that advertised in Unique Cars Magazine. I have no idea who it was..... Sorry.

I have not used them or had nothing to do with them. Just was searching the net and found them.

Thanks, I'll give them a try.

By the way, Hanra, I meant the yellow and black one to the far left.
