Dear Craig
You might have a bit of a problem here. Recent legislation in the UK has
made it necessary for anybody applying for a number plate to have to
present proof of car ownership and also proof of their own identity. The
latter has to be something rather formal such as a passport.
For any supplier to sell number plates in the UK they now have to be
licensed by a government department.
This is all to stop car cloning. Either to sell stolen cars or to try
and make somebody else pay such things as Congestion Charging in Central
London
This has led to many specialised number plate suppliers giving up.
I have only checked one that I have used in the past and they no longer
list plates but I admit it was only a small part of their overall
business.
I am no legal expert but I believe that one does not have to be
concerned with all this legislation if one purchases the parts and makes
the plate up oneself. However getting the fixing holes in the right
place could be a problem without a suitable drilling jig.
ACE were a recognised and popular manufacturer of plates with raised
letters in 1956. I suspect that what you are describing is 'silver
peak'. They were made in Coventry but long since gone.
No doubt somebody else on this list will point you to a supplier.
Regarding the letter assigned to a geographical area; the list is about
600 long. I might try and put this on our WEB site sometime but there
are other things to do first. However if you want me to look up a
specific lettering I can do so.
Regards
