Hi Todd,
Not sure if you got any feedback on a TR250 commission plate? I have attached
an image of a plate from a TR250 that was for sale on ebay not too long ago,
CD2861L. It's not too early a one however may show what you want. I didn't
realise that there was a difference between early and late plates. I have
asked Roger Ferris, our TR Register TR5/250 registrar to see if he has any
images. If he passes anything to me I will forward on to you. Rimmer Brothers
and Moss over here in the UK both sell the plate as shown on the image.
Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year from the other side of the pond.

Hi all,
Seems that the 250's produced after January 1st 1968
have commission plates that are not all that easy to
come by.
I ordered a plate from TRF that they have listed as
the correct plate for the 4/4a/250, but it doesn't
have the "applicable on" and it's a bit smaller than
the 250 commission plate installed after January 1st
1968. I contacted TRF & ordered the plate that looked
a bit more correct from their Green Catalog...I
believe it to be the CNP73(Early TR6). It has all the
"fields" on the plate, but it's actually larger than
the original 250 plates. The holes don't quite line
up either. Spoke to Dave at TRF & we agreed that what
they're selling is the UK spec plate. I'll use that
one until I can get the correct plate.
All that said...Does anyone know of a source for the
correct 250 Commission plate? I need a couple of
them.
I've e-mailed
http://www.clarkespares.com/carparts.html but it's
late & haven't heard back. Don't know if there's
anyone else out there?
Also, is there anyone out there with an EARLY
commission TR250 have pics of their plate? I seemed
to have lost my early plate. Perhaps the TR4/4A/250
plate that TRF sells is correct for it as I think it
was built prior to 1/1/68
Cheers,
Todd Bermudez
