Here we don't need the plate for inspections, the chassis number stamping on the bulkhead is all that is required . As our Registration has been 'on hold' the car will only need the standard 6 monthly Warrant of Fittness checks once back on the road. Really, we are chasing a plate to make the car 'complete'.
It was suggested to us that there were blanks available via Australia. We can stamp it if need be. A pic of my friends car's plate, 1972. This is what it should look like.
Thanks again, Lindsay
