Thanks Sandy, missed your post last week. I'll pass it on, but I think he's already ordered from the company Nigel suggested.

Strictly speaking, in the UK you cannot order a new licence plate without showing proof of ownership - usually the V5 document. But I don't know how that works for people ordering from overseas.
Guy

Guy I might be wrong but I don't think you need proof if you're ordering 'show plates' those that will not be used on the road or they're going abroad
Nigel Atkins

I suspect it was pretty unworkable legislation - there have certainly been companies selling on-line that couldn't possibly verify your V5, but worked on the basis of disclaimers and making nonsensical statements like "plates not to be used on the public road"!

Interesting thread..

Here in Missouri, you can Re-register old licence plates under the historic plates registration, I wonder if that could be a loop hole for using old foreign lic. plates like the ones in the UK... I think they have to be at least 25 years old ... something to look into for certian.
