Vintage car number plate found, ID help?

Easy_Rider · May 19, 2009

As some of you may know I have been trying to tidy up my garden after it has been used as a dump by previous owners for probably over 50 years

Anyway, amongs the crap I found this vintage car number plate with rear light! The glass seems intact, any ideas what car this would have come from?

Thats a Butlers rear light circa 1935-1945 and was fitted to many British cars of the era. I'm afraid you won't be able to narrow it down unless you find any more of it.

Thanks Si, i knew you'd have the answer

Havn't found anymore car bits apart from pure rusted rubbish, but have found a few bike bits, it's slowly adding up to a full bike

I'll have to find the internal geared hub i found and post a pic of it :shock:

so far i've found, pedals, saddles, hub, rear mech and a few other bits, but the chrome work onthe mech is pretty much like new, shows the quality of old parts.

If it is an AW, it probably still works.

Bit of T Cut and that'll polish out no worries.
