Heritage Plates (Vitreous Enamel)

  Photo Gallery Menu

The term "Heritage" number plate refers to a series of plates initally issued between 1932 and 1939. They were a numeric only series ranging from 1 up to 285,000. Production ceased on 19 May, 1939. The plates were made of heavy guage steel with embossed numbers coated with black and white vitreous enamel. Some of these original plates exist and are still used on vehicles by their owners.

Heritage plates can be quite difficult to mount on a vehicle for a number of reasons:

• They are very much heavier than regular number plates.
• Their mounting holes don't align with any standard manufacturer supplied mounting points.
• They are totally inflexible - in fact they must be prevented from flexing to avoid cracking the vitreous enamel coating.
• They have a heavy steel flange around the edge which will cause damage to your vehicle's paintwork.

We've designed and made brackets to match Heritage plates to a number of vehicles. In each case the brackets have fitted to the manufacturer's mounting points and provided a solid, flat mounting surface for the plate. They have also fitted into the recess of the rear of the plate so the bracket is totally unobtrusive. Below are a number of photos provided by our customers.
