Finally got the reg for my 76 280z, so now going to order some nice black & silver plates for it.
I've read a lot of threads on the site, and have seen a lot of variation in plate styles and sizes! It seems the general consensus is you can get away with a bit of rule bending on an old car, but the main thing that pisses off the plod is the lettering being too small, close together or spaced to look like a word?
As I've got a US import, the rear plate holder is for 300mm x 150mm / 12" X 6" plates. It seems that this size isn't technically legal in the UK, but will I get away with it? It's not on a private plate, just regular 7 number so will be split over 2 lines. The only thing I'm thinking is whether the font will be ok? This website doesn't state the size of the lettering but the font is pretty bloody clear I reckon?
