Plenty of places sell the 57mm wide pre 2001 font plates, and they are sold as "show plates". Reg's were far less strict until the advent of ANPR, but in general there were 4 fonts used across many decades and they varied depending on where the dealer/manufacturer got their plates...
And if you thought that we're the saddest nerds on the internet, check this out. 5,100 photo's of a Serck font numberplates!!https://www.flickr.com/groups/serck/pool/page1

when I was still at school one of my Dads good friends was a branch manager at a Serck depot in the north East, I had a summer job making up the number plates ready for the August new registration rush. There was a template and a punch to put holes in the aluminium plates then fit the raised plastic letters and secure them on the other reverse with a metal clip. The pressed steel plates were baked in an oven. https://www.flickr.com/groups/serck/pool/page1

Came across this on a cycle ride, abandoned car and house just down from Banstead, not following this thread so hopefully not duplicated.
High5 where about's is this? Please PM me if uncomfortable putting the road name online...not interested in getting the car but might have a look given it is local Holy cow, it's taken an excavator to get to that house. A flat roof mid century modern dream for someone, the XJS would have matched it perfectly
Streetview from 2014, the Jag must have been hidden behind all this scrub. Or under it...

Actually now I see the 2014 entrance is from the side. Still on the jungle side of private though.
Former resident obviously a car person with the trailer sitting there. Is that a Lotus Europa under the blue cover?
I would love to restore that house back to its flat roofed, aluminium windowed, Austin Powers interior splendour.
