Does anyone have a old orginal vin plate??
ive therefore contacted a company that can make me a replica vin plate, but to do this they need an original to copy. i dont want anyone to take theirs off but if someone had a old one laying about that i could borrow to copy i would appreciate it.
if all goes well il speak to dano about opening up a replacement service for club members if successful and a process about how they would be issued.

S1 and S2 plates are different and S2s have the barcode on the inside of the front panel that replaced the production plate on S1s.
Most S1 1979 cars were not fitted with VIN plates.

Copying VIN plates is probably a controlled process with the manufacturers and the police otherwise it can clearly be used for ringing cars.

they dont supply them anymore and are obsolete. im trying to sort it that the club becomes the controlled process

A quick google search and you can buy all types of blank plates and punch kits! Relax we are not going to aid any car ringers here.

I spoke to a guy who works for the police who deals with replacement vin plates for all sorts of old cars, he told me its mainly fords which have the vin stamped in the floor plan!
Anyway he told me that as far as an MOT goes as long as you have a plate affixed to your car permanently i.e. rivets, stamped etc. then you can have whatever you like. As long as it displays the vin number and makes it obvious that it's a vin number then it's fine.
With that in mind, I had this made:
Cost me £30, there's a few options for design too, you could have a black face with silver letters if you wanted. Anyway, if anyone is interested I could sort something out for you if you PM me. I've had mine on for an MOT and the tester didn't even ask.
