    True. Down my way, a correct period plate is of course the ubiquitous piece of cardboard with the words "For Reg" scrawled across it. My fathers record was 8 months getting away with that one.

    God bless the '70's :D:D

    I see this car a lot (the w123 above) and yes, it's in pretty good shape. I think the driver is a lady, very cool everyday transport.
    I'd agree about the plates. I've just ordered a set of Ace plates for mine ;-)

    I remember new cars being sold in October and onwards with pressed 'FOR REG' plates fitted.

    Yes indeed ..... God bless the '70's !!

    I remember Albert Reynolds showing up to something in early December with a pressed For Reg plate on the Jaguar. Waited till January to have it registered.

    He was Taoiseach at the time.

    I'd say those Polish 'cars' are only for field or yard use.
