racing numbers

[Retro-gone.]

ive always liked the look of the retro race numbers and been toying with the idea of them on my capri,

id have no 73 , do you guys think it would look good or silly?

forget the fact theres only a 1600 motor in my car

Race numbers are illegal if displayed on a car on the public road to the best of my knowlage, If you have numbers on your door you should have a clear black line through them.

When me and my mate were running in his nova rally car engine on the road we got stoped and got a stern warning from a traffic sargent about the use of race numbers on the road, they think it premotes raceing on the highway Technically dukes of hazzard genrel lee replicas shouldnt have 0 1 on the door withont a line through the numbers because the law see them as raceing numbers.

[Retro-gone.]

what dya mean bout 'a line thro them?

[Toby]

Yes, should be crossed through with black tape on the road, or you could be competing on the road, which to be fair makes sence.

 

Apparently the FIA or who-ever have been known to disipline people displaying their numbers too.

 

Just the roundals (spelling) look ok IMO, you could just try it and see. I wrongly display my numbers, without any reprocusions to date.

 

I have moments where I like them, and then take them off for a few months, then Brighton Speed Trials come round again so they go back on for a bit.

 

I quite like the look of them, but prefer the sleeper feel without them.

So what about fleet numbers on lorrys and buses, are they allowed, can't have a law for one and not for another

Good point steve As with alot of the law nower days its down to "officer descression" if you know what i meen. If you ride round with a car that looks like its come stright from the daytona 500 then expect to be pulled up if your car is no 4 in a fleet of thousands then i wouldnt expect any trouble.

[Lukey]

 

do it!

[Retro-gone.]

that looks good mate, thing is they are only 11quid a pair so il buy some and try em.

[Retro-gone.]

my copper mate cant find any law against this.

[tim]

there no law against runnin a road car with door numbers,its the msa (motorsport governin body in the uk) who make competition cars put a line through the number when out of an event

havin number will proberly make u more prone to get pulled over by the police tho

[billynogloves]

ive been running the anglia for about 4 years now never been pulled once

 

 

 

[rallyesport04]

Marks right VW have done a "homage" to the old Herbie Beetle and put the stripes and number 53 on the doors & bonnet.........looks shite so I can't see VW doing that if its illegal

lol .. dunno mate ... thought they were dodgy because it is a sharp pointy object that could cause damage to pedestrians if you decide to do a bit of pavement off-roading
