Numberplates

[theonlys3onexmoor]

Hi all

I need to purchase new numberplates for my Mk1 Chimaera.

Where do I go to get a backlit rear, a standard front and a smaller (not for road use, of course!) front?

Thanks in advance!!

I spent a long time searching a while ago and the only other place apart from above I found that wasn't extortionate (still £30) was here:

You select the rear size and in the drop down menu is TVR

I used one of the three suppliers in my bookmarks for a rear back-lit plate. Two of them have been already mentioned so here is another.

Which one I used escapes me, plate was good though,

I struggled to find the TVR option with them in the drop down menu, and it isn't there.

But if you select 'show' plates, you can specify a honeycombe plate. They suggest it is for off road use only, which is incorrect. They are permissible on cars registered before Sept 2001.

£13.50 with a border is very reasonable though, Shame its £7.05 delivery. Too big for a 'small' parcel with Royal Mail unfortunately.

I went this way for FancyPlates.
Open link.
Click 'our products'.
Go to bottom of page......TVR Griffith....TVR Backlit plates.

They got photos to.

Apologies, I didn't see it skulking at the bottom of the drop down menu. It was off the bottom of my screen!

So you can have translucent backlit OR honeycombe from them The latter is cheaper.

No worries, I had to play about to find it,

Slightly off topic but does anyone use a stick on front plate similar to this



I know they are not legal but has anyone used one and did you get any grief.
It's not as if you are trying to conceal anything.

Sorry about the late response, just browsing the Chim section with a touch of nostalgia (half hearted idea about coming back!)

I had a stick on plate for a while on my old Chim - never had an issue with the police.
