Old Registration Plate font

Posted by Colin Crow on February 24, 2009 at 5:18 pm

I need to reproduce some old style black and silver registration plates for models but can’t find reference to the correct font – does anyone know what it was for post war period?

Thanks

Colin

the new font is " Charles Wright" and the version for 2001 was standardized in the width of characters & stroke which before then i don’t think was the case.

It was not Charles Wright untill 2001. I Have this older font if you want it or can send the letters and numbers as eps or whatever.
