...has anyone got a close up picture of black and silver car number plates they could post below or pm to me please? The type I'm after looking at are the ones where the silver letters/numbers had sort of horizontal lines on them, almost like a pinstripe effect. I think they may have been called 'executive' plates, or something like that. Apologies for the rubbish description, hopefully someone will know the type of tjing I mean. Cheers...

I know what you mean. Used to see them on Rover P5Bs a lot back in the day. They used to be about twice the price of regular black & silver plates. I've not seen anyone selling them for a long time. Doesn;t mean they ain't out there though

They're the ones thanks Alistair. I've found a place who reckon they could knock me some up (for show use) if I can supply a decent picture hence my request. Cheers.

Framptons are well pricey, or I'm horribly out of touch. £50 for a pair of pretty regular plates?

These are the type you're after:   They're known as 'Silverline' or 'Perspex Engraved' plates, and are indeed pricey! |

I think the new plain pressed ally plates for the Pop were £30 delivered and they are the big letter early type. No idea where they came from though  |

Now I'm going to be really picky and say that the ones I was thinking of had the "engraved" bit filled in with black as well. As I recall there were several options for the Silverline plates....
* Horizontal or vertial stripes effect.
* stripe effect which follows the shape of the letters (as in the example)
* As above but with the recesses in black to make the letters look pinstriped (as in the suit not as in Von Dutch)
Nice link Misteralz - nice choice of plates at more decent prices. My local place uysed to do black & silver pressed at £12 a pair, the raised plastic letter ones at £16 a pair (£10 extra for white letters rather than silver on a black plate as they painted them before fitting them lol) and pressed reflectives £12 and acrylic reflectives £10 pair.
They have moved premices and someone told me they stopped doing anything but New Charles Wright (DVLA compliant) plates now. Not been in to check as they aren't local any more.

Thanks for the pics, it's the bottom one I'm after. If you don't mind I'll nick that picture and send it off to the person who can make plates up and get a price. I'll post the price up in case anyone else wants them by the way. Many thanks. |

Thanks AK, used them before for my Stepdad's Christmas; got him old-font plates for his mk2 Escort. The front one was square and even had BSAu 145a stamped into the corner!
I'm a bit of a stickler for plates, sad as it is. I've even got old-font alloy ones on my 02-plate Audi...

Nothing worse than old skool motors with white and yellow plates on them I reckon, stand out like a sore thumb imho. Having said that I want these black/silver or black/chrome plates for a modern car!

My old Beetle had the engraved perspex ones on from, I assume, new - there was a dealer sticker on the bottom anyway but I don't know if it was the original supplier. They too had the BSAU number on, although in 1973 I would have thought they'd have been fitted with white/yellow plates as new (even though the B&S's were legal, they were well on the way to being phased out)

AFAIK black and silver plates are only road legal if the vehicle was first registered pre-1973. I've also heard that the DVLA/DoT etc are planning a crackdown on illegal plates, so be warned.  |
