Hi, we are trying to sell our Healey and awaiting a Heritage Certificate. Been searching, contacting Todd Clarke (indicated he doesn't offer these), and can't seem to find the source.
Can anyone here assist me with a source for a repro VIN plate?

Cheers,

I used “Clarke Spares”. clarkespares
He also has the engine vin plates. I think I purchased the correct vin plates for the firewall from MOSS and mailed it to him to stamp. I also provided him with the Heritage certificate and a Letter from the Registar of my cars Registry.

I used “Clarke Spares”. I think that’s the correct spelling.

Yeah that’s Todd Clarke, who I contacted. He responded in email and basically said he doesn’t do them and doesn’t know who does and can’t make any recommendations.

(Edit). Ooooh. You mean I gotta send him a plate I get from somewhere else?

Ah. Well. He didn’t explain that or make that offer in his reply so I guess I’ll look elsewhere.

I don't know of anyone else - besides Clarke - who makes/stamps/embosses them. However, I don't think I've ever needed a VIN ("Car No.") plate; only engine number plates which have no screen print and are therefore much simpler.

I'd just try the usual suspects, beginning with Moss Motors since they are an advertiser here on the British Car Forum.
