List,

I completely agree with Mr. Blair. A pair of YOM (Year Of Manufacture) 
license plates are the finishing touch for your pristine Austin-Healey. 
The only problem is you would not wish to put a very used looking set 
like these on your restoration. I have found a gentleman in Georgia who 
not only does outstanding plate restorations, he specializes in 
California plates. http://www.tagdr.com/ Rod Pearman's prices and 
turnaround time are excellent. He has done two pairs for me, my '53 BN1 
and the personalized blue plates on my one-owner '72 240Z.

I rarely recommend anyone, but Rod is that good. NFI. Yada, yada, yada.

not. But now my facilities are decaying and soon I shall be so I cannot
