MG TD TF 1500 - License/registration plate question.

Anyone know what shape and color a British license plate would have been on a car registered in England in 1951?

Thanks

Most common were pressed aluminium plates.

Not certain but I think they were the same in 1953

I think for the rear there were more square plates with letters on top of numbers. Plates of that era would be black I believe.

Its all on the website I gave above. Nearly all plates at the front were oblong, but at the rear were oblong or square. Digits were 3 1/2" high (reduced from '64). Pressed auminium plates were the most common (least expensive), but the so called Gothic aluminium raised character plates were also permitted.

I have what I believe is the original plate for my '49 TC. Is there anyway to find out the history/owner of this plate/car?
