Hi all. I’ve been searching for some time for a car dealer sticker and registration templates for an old Ford dealer that my Focus ST225 was originally sold at in 2006. The dealer was on the High Street in Eton, Berkshire but has since closed down. All I need is a picture of said dealer sticker, reg plates to reproduce some. So I was wondering if anybody had or knew of the whereabouts of suck a sticker etc?

Thanks for your time!

Good luck, I’ve been searching for “ Love is Best “ an North Weald / Epping car dealer called Ken Love, from the late 80s

Maybe they still put them on used cars?

Probably the same people as just a couple of miles from Eton

Have you tried contacting the company to see if they have any archive materials?

Might also try here:https://www.dmb.uk.com/cat/dealer-stickers

I couldn't see one for Martin Eton Ltd but perhaps contact the guy (Dave) and see if it's something he can do - he's made bespoke stuff for me in the past (Ford gel centre caps).

I was thinking that may be possible. The guy from the original place emailed me after I emailed the same place you found. Not sure how it works but he said he retired from Eton some years back so all the key rings, stickers, reg templates would have been destroyed.

I emailed them a week ago. The guy who ran the dealer on the High Street emailed me back to say he’d retired from Eton some years ago and all the stickers etc would have been destroyed. I have thought about ringing them up and enquiring instead.

I’m in contact with them but they’re hitting a wall.

I’m in the area
Had a look at some older Fords while out walking, no luck.
I’ll keep my eyes open!

Will report back when they're home but my neighbours had a Martin sticker on a Fiesta...fingers crossed it's their current one.

Ahh, sorry to have got your hopes up man, their current Fiesta came from SMC. It was their last identical silver Fiesta that came from Martin's.

I owe you so will nerd at older Fords on my ramblings about here.
