Shouldn’t be silver on black - car is too new for that. Great number though.Originally Posted by Thewatchbloke

I have lobbied the owners of Frodshams to do a range of posters for their double impulse mechanism.

With the change in eligibility for silver on black plates to any vehicle produced before January 1980 this vehicles is correctly displayed as it was first registered in 1978.

Strange that these days a raised 4D plate is considered the hallmark of a chav!
^^^ After a little googling I've found they were called "Peak" plates back in the day (which is what I now remember) and were manufactured by Ace or Jepson.
Chatting this morning with a guy who has BU11LD J on a Defender. Says he saw it advertised on eBay for £1000 but bought it from DVLA for £250.
Saw two yesterday, one cringe but the other is pretty cool.
E4 LDN while in the E4 postcode and MR 57ERN
That I didn’t know. I didn’t realise it had changed from the 1973 cut off but a quick Google gives info that if you apply to the DVLA and register as historic vehicle tax class it is indeed Jan 1980.
Cheers, every day is a school day but still doesn’t allow a local black Lambo to use them :-)

Wow! Yes, that was the one I saw.
No wonder it looked mint!
Thanks for the info.
Now this IS a good plate!
Lucky man I’ve still to see it. When they announced it I was a bit dubious however seems like they’ve pulled it off!

Nigel Mansell has had a big sell off of memorabilia including his reg 5 NM that made £50400
I had a rep in trying to sell me equipment to make ‘4d’ number plates, I asked him” isn’t the 4th dimension time, don’t sell many DeLoreans” went right over his head, didn’t buy anyway, time spent making standard plates too long already.

That’s got to be worth a pretty penny!
Should have put it in the auction where 6SJ sold for three times that amount.
Apparently there are an infinite number of dimensions but we only live in three of them, and time isn’t really a dimension as we can only move in one direction.
Or so I’ve heard.
Na. Time is a dimension - nothing physical can exist without it. It all gets a bit fuzzy at the quantum level, where time reversal symmetry may be possible.

I suppose that makes describing raised plates as 4d more accurate than describing them as 3D.
So close to BJ 69 MiLF. So close.
Haha good spot!

No point starting a new thread for this, but surely the way this plate is cut is illegal?
No, that’s fine. https://www.bespoke-plates.co.uk/blo...s-legal-in-uk/No point starting a new thread for this, but surely the way this plate is cut is illegal?
Daft imo but some people like them - would look far better matching the shape of the recess.

A mind very much like a Welsh railway... One track and diirty.
Everyday’s a school day. Thanks for that.

On one of those spaceship electric BMW iX thingies. Quick google-fu suggests it's a NE fish guy, makes sense as they have money to burn.

A childhood classic!
Great number. As to the NE I have seen BBC 1 up in Sunderland area as well a while ago.
An expensive plate I should think……
Just saw "HA66LES" on a red Porsche, Panamera , I think, in Richmond, thought I had resaved it on the dashcam but can't find it ...
The raised letters on those number plates have height, width, and being raised give them depth? Isn’t that 3D?Thanks for the info, every days a school day.

Merely a fancy excuse to charge more in my book.
Yep, a C8 Corvette convertible….

True, but when you consider time as a dimension, then that’s the fourth dimension.
The merc plate is quite clever, assuming its the company owner.Yep, a C8 Corvette convertible….
So over time they change shape?
They have loads of those plates on different work lorry’s and vans. UK3 UK7 etc
Guy who owns the company has a previously famous gangster brother, victor dark, with quite a funny Danny Dyer hard man episode.
No, not necessarily; if time is a dimension then they have length, width, height and time so four dimensions.
If they didn’t have time, they wouldn’t exist in our perception. I would say universe but would probably be wrong.
So, when distinguishing between a flat sheet and a plate with raised figures you simply say, these are both 4D objects? I see your point, but it's not particularly useful achieving the aim of distinguishing between them.
Price List
4D number plate £10
4D number plate £25
Absolutely, we all know and understand the accepted definitions of 1d, 2d and 3D, I was just furthering an earlier discussion about whether time is a dimension or not.
I personally think anyone describing a 3D number plate as 4d is a bit desperate. How does it differ from a 3D plate?
Well spotted...
Yes, that is my Merc E63s
That’s my point, I accept time as a fourth dimension but you can’t put it on a number plate?

It costs 100%+ more to the foolish who’ll pay extra.
It’s there anyway, the plate can’t exist without it.
