I think a new more accurate tag would be a wise decision.
If you make it as close to possible but make sure it is known to be a new tag the car would not appear as a "fake tag" as it has been. It would help you with not having folks think it was intentionally "faked".
Here is one option...
Well put together and well thought out. Thanks for posting that.
And I totally agree, those here are not being personal in anyway. Just talking about what can be seen through research.
To answer the y39 and the R21 question we would all need to see other fender tags that have those options...
That would be great!
Would love to see it's original pictures and how you progressed it to a real driver.
Sounds like you picked the best of his battery (shoal)
Thanks for including us on your journey with the car! Glad it provided a fun time along with a few headaches. That's the breaks!
Cool that you got a number you can live with too. Have a fun time in retirement, hope all goes well for You and Yours.
Traveling around the USA? or abroad?
Well, regardless of the tag it sounds like a really cool car. Would love to see some pictures of the actual car that you put your heart, time and money into the "restoration".
No matter if the tag is one way or the other, if it rides around when you want it to then it is worth the effort...
