Getting the right numberplates...
Today I want to vent my feelings about one of my pet hates when it comes to classic cars, a small and fairly trivial thing but one that irritates me far more than it should: so many fine cars are ruined by the wrong style of numberplates. You may think that's not important and as long as it's legal who really cares, but the numberplates are what give the vehicle its unique identity and you can find out so much of its history from the registration displayed on them so to me they are the focal point of the vehicle and can make or break its appearance. After spending thousands on a restoration, why spoil it for the sake of a few extra pounds to buy some correct-looking plates?

| Nice car, shame about the plate. It's legal now but wasn't when new and a reflective one would be much better |
