Complete the authentic look of your classic vehicle with our Classic Oblong Metal Pressed Number Plate (Pre-1980). Measuring the standard 520mm x 111mm, these premium metal pressed number plates are designed specifically for classic and vintage vehicles manufactured before 1980, delivering a period-correct finish that perfectly complements your vehicle's heritage.

Each classic car number plate is manufactured using premium 3M reflective material and finished by hand with durable enamel paint to create a distinctive embossed appearance. Our precision pressing process produces crisp, raised characters that offer excellent visibility while maintaining the traditional styling expected of vintage number plates.
