Default Dealer Plates

I've done a search and made contact with Chris Latham to get some plates, stickers and tax disk made up but I'm a bit stuck on what dealer logo to get, Ill try and explain where I am,

The car was registered in 1988 at 'Le Motte Ford' in Jersey, it was registered as an airport vehicle and came over to England 8 month later.

When it got to England it was sold by Waynes of catterick which I dont believe to be a main dealer, the guy who bought it then went to Skippers of Northallerton to sign up to an extended warranty and there is loads of history of the car using skippers.

Would you guys go for Skippers of Northallerton or La Motte of Jersey

I think you may be right, I want it to look original I cant get the original logo so will get some generic ones done from Chris, I may give la motte ford a call tomorrow just to see if they have anything with the old logo on etc

Hi chris,

Yes that was me, the Mercury Grey saff with "Four Point Ford in Feltham".

Gonna get you the measurements, but i may be changing the reg plate so will prob be worth sending you the new reg details once its all transferred over.

Cheers

My car was originally from Rates Ford in Essex, when I bought the car I was living in northolt and done a lot of business with Uxbridge Ford, still good mates with the crew from there even now uxbridge has gone and they work in different locations

when I looked at Chris's designs he had a template for uxbridge ford so I went for that as it was pertinent to me
