I currently have metal number plates, white and yellow. They are quite faded and probably won't pass an MOT.

Will some pressed plates in the correct format pass an MOT quite happily rather than cheap boring plastic ones?

Should do. If you want new ones I think there is a company called Framptons which do oriinal spec ones. Am after some myself for mine

I'll have a look in to them, there are a few companies on eBay that do them as well.

Unfortunately framptons don't do anything for post '73, Norfolk plates and signs it is for me then.

It does, but post 73 are the metal plates with the plastic lettering rivetted on not a fully pressed plate

I used Framptons for my metal plates with riveted 3d letters. Mines a series 3 1981 so not sure what they would have originally been in that era.
Not cheap but a nice touch to help keep that period appearance

My rear plate (1976) is an original I think and its made in that way with rivetted letters

I always thought that the pressed ones were standard and the riveted on letters and numbers were a posh alternative

Well the new plate turned up yesterday, fitted today, from eBay and it looks very good.

Not sure on the rules for the older vehicles, but don't vehicle registrations have to have a postcode of some sort on the bottom?
