If Pukar is about ...

I'd really like a tax disc with a 30 Nov 91 date on it

In the original design

Do you do these?

Thanks

Jim

The abolition of the tax disc as we know it means OE types will want to have a replica of the car's original tax disc on display.

Thanks for the link, just ordered one myself for a tenner :)

Let's see how it turns out...

Wonder why the ones here are almost 3x the price > http://www.britishtaxdiscs.co.uk/order-tax-disc.php

Possibly you get what you pay for...

The http://www.poplargreg.com/taxdiscs/taxd ... xdiscs.htm mentioned above have been mentioned before on pistonheads and people seem happy with the quality etc. Don't know if everyone does the same, but they can make them with whatever issuing post office stamp you want. So in my case, since my car was supplied by Prophets of Gerrards Cross, I could get the tax disc made with Gerrards Cross, as that (probably) what it had back in June 1991 :-)
