Where can I get number plates from?

[TNM]

Cant seem to find any where that does proper Morris Minor number plates.
Dont want plastic crap, need proper metal ones.

Jesus!
Not cheap are they

[bmcecosse]

There are plenty of places that do them for ~£25 a set. Buy a copy of Classic Car Weekly - usually advertised in there.

They offer a good service.

And some of the usual Minor specialists also offer this service.

esm £11.95 each plus vat. combine it with other stuff and post is free if you spend over £60.

You get what you pay for tbh. Tippers, and similar companies, offer proper pressed ally plates with black enamelled background and polished letters which are really nice. Also raised letter - Ace and Bluemels type if you're that keen.
Whereas if you just want a cheap black and silver ally plate, the Minor specialists and the stalls you see at shows do the job. You sometimes get a slightly different more modern looking font, and it will be a laminated plate where the black part can peel off if they get bent (a possibility onthe front plate on a Minor) but they do the job pretty well for around £20 a pair.

The OP's car is new enough that it needs the more common 3 1/8 inch high characters, but pre-1963 cars would have had 3 1/2 inch, which some of the cheaper suppliers don't sell.

Isn't there an overall plate size problem with rear plates on Minors?

I know this company specifically make the plate to fit the boot recess, and their website is pretty informative.
