Default Polar ford , York

anyone work here or bought a car from here?
reason I ask is my mate has a mint small turbo escos which was originally supplied by this dealer.
he now wants to get number plates made up to look like the ones that would have been supplied on the car...
so anyone got a pic or know what the logo should look like on the plate?
also any info on dealer window sticker would be great
cheers

The supplying dealer of my Escos was Polar Ford and I asked them the same question a few years back.
Due to the way plates must be made now-new font and dealer postcode at the bottom etc they couldn't make me 'vintage' ones unfortunately
I have a 1996 (I think) dealer sticker in the rear screen, I will see if I can fish out a pic for you.

I will have a look at some really old plates from mine years and years ago but I don't think I have ones with the polar logo.
I will let you know

that still isnt the old style font good plates, but if you want original, you would really want the older thicker/wider lettering to get it accurate
