Not spoken with them so worth a go. What started out as a simpole fix is getting very expensive if I buy 2 new pressed plated even assuming I can get them.

Have you thought of trying an engineering worksho0? They may be able to CNC cut the shape with the letters for you ?


Going to see my local fabricators tomorrow and see if they can come up with anything.

What do other Traction Avant owners use? Is there a plate made by parts suppliers or owners clubs?
Someone else will have had the problem and found a solution.
Interested to see the outcome. Like to see more pics of your car also. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Spoken to other club members most have stuck on white vinyl as is easiest. One chap had letters custom made by a graphics company. One guy even had a signwriter do his. Will post a few pics when she is out of the garage.
Currently changing coolant and oils and and a door mechanism. Door mechanism damned sight easier than on the FL2 lol.

United Kingdom 2014 Freelander 2 TD4 Dynamic Manual Santorini Black

Some early Land Rovers (late 40's into the 50's) had the registration number hand painted onto plate blanks at the dealers at the point of sale I believe - that would seem appropriate and likely historically correct for a vehicle of this vintage also? 2014 Freelander 2 TD4 Manual Dynamic

Sign writer seems the way to go given the curved nature of the plate. MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

Sign written would be nice. I doubt that any LR dealer does that now!
