Rick W Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Does anyone know of a supplier for repro data plates? Quote
fv1609 Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Alex, I clicked on that & my internet security system blocked it as a forged site, whatever that means - so I got out quick! Quote
Rick W Posted February 6, 2009 Author Posted February 6, 2009 Good site for jeep plates, but I was thinking more British M.O.S. dataplates? Quote
N.O.S. Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 I tried that 4U site and same security problem. But I seem to remember being recommended that site by someone else on here a while ago now - when I emailed him then, he replied sorry but could only supply jeep plates (but they didn't half look the mutt's nuts!!). Try searching in 'ebay shops' on ebay.com (the USA site) for 'Lt.Horne' (the name of an ebay shop). This guy does a lot of US plates and I'm asking him to do some specials for me at the moment. I expect he'll need a pattern or some artwork or photo though. See chevy42's Diamond T resto blog for the quality of his work. Marcus Glenn might know where to source British plates. Quote
Chrisg Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 If its for the Champ Roy Elvis sells them http://www.champ-sparesukltd.com/austin-handbook.htm Quote
Rick W Posted February 6, 2009 Author Posted February 6, 2009 I need to find out if I can identify the original reg number for the vehicle. Sounds like I need to invest in the ACOC! Quote
sirhc Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Rick, What does it say on the V5, or is it not registered? It should say WN1-xxxx, if you take the xxxx and put BE (or BF) in the middle of the 4 numbers you'll have the army reg. Chris Quote
Rick W Posted February 7, 2009 Author Posted February 7, 2009 The reg number it has come to me is 916 UXK, obviously been changed. Chassis number 6061, contract number 6-VEH-5531, does that mean anything? Quote
Rick W Posted February 7, 2009 Author Posted February 7, 2009 What makes it a BE in the middle? Be handy to know for sure so I can apply for the history. Quote
sirhc Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Rick, Champs were BE, starting at 00BE01 for WN1-0001 up to WN1-10000 when they changed to BF. Chris Quote
Rick W Posted February 7, 2009 Author Posted February 7, 2009 Genius. Grateful for that Chris - thanks.:bow: Quote
