interesting thanks


You can of course also get a plastic notice with XX49 ABCD on it to
mark an outbuilding (or whatever). The UK legislation is very silly
really, they can't prevent anyone making a piece of plastic with
numbers and letters on surely.


The idea is to make it more difficult to get them made up while you wait.
For obvious reasons. 'Show' plates or other mail order ones are more
likely to allow the buyer to be traced.

I wanted some new ones for the old Rover - but didn't want them saying
Halfords or whatever. So got some made up using the name of the garage who
supplied the car new - but no longer exists.
