When the car was new, the pround owners would have wanted to proclaim its newness by having the current reflective plates fitted.



Fair enough, before my time, just thought that up until 73 black and silver plates were fitted then changed at the suffix letter change to the reflective ones we have today.

the black & silver ones now add to the classic look and authenticity (assuming the car is a pre 73!) funny how different times change peoples perception.

looks great - come a long way from when I saw it when I came to pick up the trailer. Enjoy the summer!





We gain knowledge faster than we do wisdom!

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, thoroughly used, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming... "f*ck, what a trip!"

Yes, I'm having to scrape the memory bin here, but I certainly remember my father's new Mk2 Vitesse coming with reflective plates and that was a G reg. Can't remember how long before that that reflective plates became virtually standard
