I would rather keep the original scruffy v.i.n. plate than fit a brand new repro one. Brand new v.i.n. plates ring alarm bells for me.

Only if you don't have the original to back it up Tommy.

We have the technology Keith! You could always scruff it up a bit yourself.

Still got the original one on mine, paints a little thin, but I like the patina. It's not easy getting a repro one done with the correct rear stamping and digit spacing anyway.
Makes me smile when you go down a line of RS escorts with their bonnets up at a show and see the number of different looking v.i.n plates they have. Hmm I wonder how many real RS1800s still exist.
