Hi all.

I do believe that numberplates fitted by TVR at the factory had a short phrase below, perhaps "TVR - The Spirit Of Driving"? I'm hoping that I'll be able to get a front numberplate made up to this effect, however I'm unsure of whether there is a company out there who would make up a "replica" plate. Does anyone have a photograph of a proper TVR numberplate, or able to offer guidance towards somebody who could make one up?

Thanks.

Don't know the answer to the factory question, would have thought it was the dealers who registered most of them. I've just bought a set on Flea for my new reg and you can put anything you like on the footer. Mine say ""Blackpool Rock". If you can't find the seller in question (West Yorks) PM me. Would post a photo but the car is in having a starting problem sorted.

This might help - one of the original plates off a factory press car.

Thanks for the replies. The above two photographs were exactly what I was after. I'm sure a plate company somewhere will be able to produce a replica of these.
