Guest bigtoyzII Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I have a '67 jag XKE i am hoping to have back on the road soon. I want to use the original long & narrow type of license plates on the car. I believe MN will accept them as antique license plates for the car. Can anyone suggest where I might find a pair of matching (preferably 1967) british license plates?Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unimogjohn Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I don't really really know about MN, but VA only will allow year of manufacture VA plates. And I do not believe that it is legal to sell UK plates as they go with the car forever. I did not see any on the Ebay.UK site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unimogjohn Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 And it looks like you can use year of issue plates in MN. Here is a link.DMV, Sample and YOM License Plate Registration Information from TurnerPlates.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave@Moon Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) And it looks like you can use year of issue plates in MN. Here is a link.DMV, Sample and YOM License Plate Registration Information from TurnerPlates.comAs I read the link in John's post MN requires the use of MN plates. In fact it would be almost absurd if other jurisdiction's plates were allowed. At any rate, if you want to put British plates on your car be advised that in Britain the owner was assigned a registration number for the car, and they then had the plates made up for it according to the regulations at that time. That number, and the plates, stay with the car until it is junked/retired. You can purchase authentic plates in any number combination you want from numerous LBC (Little British Car) vendors, for instance see: Products and Accessories.Wikipedia has a very good discussion of authentic British car registrations and the plates that were used.

Guest 47jag Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Dave,To be a bit pedantic, the plates are assigned to the car but if you wished to put them on your next car or even sell them then you can transfer the number and another 'age related' plate will be issue for the original car. If you plan to sell the number, then the easiest way is to put the number on 'retention'. Once on a retenion slip they can be bought and sold or assigned to another vehicle. All of this is a nice little money maker for the government.Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
