Silvera

Do any of you guys know of a motor factors, garage, etc (in Ireland) that make older style plates as shown below ?

plate 1 = pressed aluminium
plate 2 = plastic letters on aluminium plate.

Doubt it as the Revenue commissioners have started fining garages for making these plates as they don't comply with the 1991 regulations.

Yeah, those plates may well get you stopped, theyre illegal.

These plates are most definitely NOT ILLEGAL ! ........ in the following cases :-

Vehicles first registered in Ireland before Dec 1986 (and ZV 'vintage' registrations, issued since 1992) may display their registrations on the plates shown above.

BTW, Bond-007, I'm curious to know where/when have the Revenue started to fine garages for making old style plates ?

They may fine garages if they make such plates for 1991- registered cars, but they cannot fine them for making them for pre-Dec '86 reg cars!

There used be a place at the junction of the North Circular and Sherrard St that did all styles and always warned that they were for 'show use only'. In Galway, Calbro motor Factors supply them (pm me for number)

There are lots of places in the UK - see any of the dedicated Classic car mag small ads.

It is worth noting that I have NEVER had legal number plates on ANYTHING and I have only been stopped two or three times and ticketed once. I refuse to let 'the man' tell me I cant have little, tiny multi-coloured plates with swirly writing. So there.

If that's their game, they'd be better off going after those daft illegible-scripty-handwritey-car-logoey approximations to the modern style. Since when has it been an offence to fabricate a non-standard plate (as opposed to actually mounting the thing on a car)?
