Designed specifically for vehicles manufactured before 1983, these premium pressed metal number plates combine traditional styling with high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship.

Made using premium 3M reflective material, each plate features crisp, single-layer embossed characters and is hand-finished with silver enamel paint.

Whether you're restoring a classic vehicle, replacing an old registration plate or creating an authentic period-correct look, these classic metal pressed number plates provide a premium finishing touch.

Classic Pressed Metal Number Plates for Pre-1983 Vehicles

Traditional pressed metal plates are a popular choice for classic car owners because they recreate the appearance of registration plates from an earlier era.

Our plates feature single-layer embossed lettering with a hand-finished silver enamel coating, creating raised characters and a timeless appearance. Combined with premium 3M reflective material, they offer a high-quality finish that looks at home on both restored and well-loved classic vehicles.

These plates are particularly suited to classic Land Rovers, vintage cars and other vehicles manufactured before 1983 where authentic styling is an important part of the restoration.

  • 520 x 111mm - standard oblong registration plate size
  • 11 x 8 inches - ideal for classic Land Rovers and vehicles requiring a shorter, wider plate

  • Optional silver or black border

Are these classic metal pressed number plates road legal?

Yes, the product is available as a road legal number plate. However, road legal plates must meet all applicable UK regulations and be manufactured using the correct registration details, font, spacing and specifications. The vehicle must also meet the relevant eligibility requirements.

A show plate option is also available for display and off-road use.
What vehicles are these plates suitable for?

These plates are designed specifically for vehicles manufactured before 1983. They are particularly suitable for classic cars, vintage vehicles and classic Land Rovers.
What sizes are available?

You can choose between 520 x 111mm and 11 x 8 inches. The 520 x 111mm option provides the familiar standard oblong shape, while the 11 x 8 inch option is particularly suited to certain classic vehicles, including Land Rovers.
What are the plates made from?

The plates use premium 3M reflective material and feature single-layer embossed characters. Each plate is hand-finished with silver enamel paint to create a traditional pressed metal appearance.
Why are these plates suitable for classic cars?

The embossed characters, silver enamel finish and traditional metal construction create an authentic period-inspired appearance. They are particularly well suited to classic car restorations where modern acrylic plates may look out of place.
Can I order a custom registration?

Yes. The plate can be manufactured using the registration you provide when ordering. For road legal plates, you'll need to provide the required proof of entitlement and identification before manufacture.
Can I choose the border colour?

Yes. This product is available with a silver or black border, allowing you to choose the finish that best complements your classic vehicle.
Can I use the 11 x 8 inch plate on a Land Rover?

What is the difference between a road legal plate and a show plate?

A road legal number plate is manufactured to meet the applicable UK registration plate requirements and requires the necessary documentation. A show plate is intended for display, events or off-road use and may not meet the requirements for use on public roads.
How long do classic metal pressed number plates last?

The combination of durable materials, premium reflective film and enamel finishing makes these plates suitable for long-term use. With appropriate care, they can retain their appearance for many years while withstanding everyday exposure to the elements.

Customer photo review of Classic Metal Pressed Number Plate 520 x 111mm & 11 x 8 inches

The number plates arrived damaged, I contacted you to let you know, you stated it was most likely the postman and that you would replace them. I’m still waiting for the replacements.

Classic Metal Pressed Number Plate 520 x 111mm & 11 x 8 inches

Store owner replied: in all fairness no company would deliberately send a damaged product to then spend more money on sending replacements if they could have sent it properly in the first place so unfortunately we did blame royal mail and sent you more plates.

Customer photo review of Classic Metal Pressed Number Plate 520 x 111mm & 11 x 8 inches

These plates look fantastic but are very thin compared to originals so I used a metal backing plate. Prompt delivery with a simple order process with dvla v948. The front plate came with slight damage in the form of a bend to the edges

Customer photo review of Classic Metal Pressed Number Plate 520 x 111mm & 11 x 8 inches

Love the plates! Not had chance to test fit on the car yet, but know they will look great on my 74 MG. Quality meets expectations, website was easy to use, communication and order updates have met expectations. Positive experience!

Classic Metal Pressed Number Plate 520 x 111mm & 11 x 8 inches

No overly impressed with the quality. The 11x8 rear plate does not sit level, or perhaps should be described as slightly buckled, I guess the way it was pressed. I feel I could have done better elsewhere for the price. No even sure I'll fit the plates to my classic.

Classic Metal Pressed Number Plate 520 x 111mm & 11 x 8 inches

I like the product but was disappointed by the time it took to arrive. On a positive note, when I chased the order I received a prompt and polite reply acknowledging the delay was unacceptable and the product arrived promptly after that so, whilst delays happen and are regrettable, the response was excellent and appreciated. Thank you.
