Main Dealer Stickers.

My car came from C R Wood & Son and I have the original rear licence plate but no stickers. Therefore, I will take some photos of the plate for anyone else's usage as a template. However, given how rare these cars are getting, I doubt many will be left that were purchased from there and no, they are not still in business.

AJ Decals made my reproduction Porter of Ayr rear window dealer sticker, but I was lucky to have an original photo from when the car was nearly new. Andy Johnson can be found on Ebay if you search PTS decals/Rallye decals. Design stuff on line have reproduced dealer number plates with the correct font with dealer name and BS AU 145a on them as per original.

I have recently made up an A.J. Blackler sticker. I took a photograph and spent a few evenings in photoshop re-creating

 

Here's a small sample of the artwork - I'm looking into getting some vinyl prints very soon

Of course Rich. Send me a mail - I'm getting some made up v.soon. That's why I posted it - I hoped others would see it. There may be a small charge to cover costs, but I am not looking to profit.

You could argue the same reason for Peugeot.

 

Quite different. You buy a Peugeot because it's a Peugeot, not because it was sold at Johnny's shop. I can understand if the dealer has some sort of historical significance. UK dealer stickers do look better than some of the ugly ones they have in the USA.

 

 

I hope you're gonna take some sandpaper to those tyre sidewalls then.

 

Why would one do that? If it came with some gaudy sticker from the shop where I bought the tire, well sure, but not the brand itself.

It's all advertising at the end of the day.

I have arranged to get the A.J. Blacker sticker printed. Here's a small sample of the artwork again.

 

It will be sized to the "correct" dimensions. In that I am sure mine will have a shrunken a little since new, but it will match the sizing for the one I have today at least.

 

I'm looking at £10 each delivered. Please PM if you are interested. At the moment I will likely have 2 spare.

Slightly off topic but Charters produced the 205 "Cheetah" back in '86!

Fibreglass kit and engine mods bring the 105bhp 1.6 up to 125bhp, torque from 99 to 130lBt.

Turtles Of Rathkenny . Co. Antrim. N. I. ~ tax disc holder x 2 .Rear window , dealer badge x 2 , really cheap & nasty rear mud flaps with Peugeot Talbot logo .Original Peugeot 205 sales brochure ,Talbot World Rally Champions ,sun strip .Peugeot Service Manager's leather bound diary cover . PTS boiler suit . Sadly they closed down recently and I missed out on some tasty signs .The staff were first class and always eager to give you a bit of advice .Ivan in the parts dept considered N.F.P. as a personal challenge to source the part elsewhere. He said NFP stood for No F###ing Problem .

Got the details back from the DVLA. Mine was registered at Berkeley Garage, Southampton. The company dissolved in 99. Shame, can't find any pics for them. Anyone seen any?

I just fitted my re-creation for the by A.J. Blacker rear window sticker. Looks pretty spot on to me - 100% accurate in size (at least allowing for period shrinkage).

I have had a quick look for my original plates as they were Warwick Wright Chiswick and I can't see them, but I doubt that I will have thrown them away

I am wanting to get some original 92/93 factory plates made as mine was registered there, which are very similar to the below from the research I have done on the press cars.

Thanks for the CTI photo H, it matches a plate that was on my CTI but the quality of the photo I had was dire. I have the rear window sticker design now that someone from the Lancs PSCUK group has sent to me.

 

One down, 2 to go!

Was the picture above taken of a Goodwood H? Just trying to work out when the Talbot reference would have stopped. In 1987 (my CTI) it would have existed I'd guess but not in 1993 (my GTI)?

Who's car is the Grove of Rugby?

 

I could do with a new sticker if anyone has that design?
