Hi all,

In the process of doing work to my Mk2 XR2, and in my efforts to keep everything completely standard, I need to source a new number plate. The rear (yellow) plate has started to get dirt in between the clear plastic and the yellow backing. It got picked up by my MOT man so needs sorting.

The plate is the original that came with the car and, as such, has the slightly different font (Charles Wright 1935) than you get these days (post 2001). The width of each letter has been reduced from 57mm to 50mm. I want the 57mm

Now I know that number plates sold after 2001 need to meet this, that and the other regulations so that johnny penguin doesn't get carbon'd to death, but I am genuinely only trying to keep the authentic style plate font, not modify it in any other way.

Does anyone know where I can find a place that will do these sorts of plates. Either in the South West, online or delivered would be great.

Thank in advance
