Hi thank you for your reply, sorry but not dodgy just trusting, i am an honest person, i really didn't think to much of it at the time as the garage partner who was to do the body work took the rear plate off for me, as the front plate was left in a bag with some bits under the front seat so both plates where put in the office safe keeping metal cabinet and some parts where put in the storage room,
as the owners partner was to do the body work, i thought it would be ok.
It has bothered me ever since but you live and learn, if i cant recover the plate info well I'm going to continue the rebuild anyway because
i ve been collecting parts for it for some time. the car was brought from an owner who lives in greater London I no the area i have the original tags
that match up with the body shell colour i no what cc the car is and its age i no the first four digits of the licence i just cant remember the rest
i was thinking to put out the area of the previous owner may be some one i that area many years ago would remember as i come from the midlands and the previous owner 1000% would remember me and selling it to me, but thank you for your comments. Regards J
