Redrover, i'm sure I am allowed british style plates for the front. That's something I should do for car shows.I will have to check my local suppliers to see if I can source a proper front plinth. I'm not sure obout the rear though.
Rovering member, I have the original cancelled cheque for the deposit on the car, 200 pounds made out to Henly's ltd. in November 1969. I am assuming the car was purchased on the overseas vacation plan where you buy a car, pick it up in Britain, drive it on your vacation and then is shipped to your home country. It would be interesting to hear from owners whose car was purchased under this plan to see how the cars were registered.
It appears as though it was registered to the Meteor works, and then the owner on the same day, Jan. 12 1970.
