Business Summary:
Manufacturer of Registration and License Plates for Vintage and Classic Motor Cars and Motor Bikes
Ref.IZ016
Location South East
Asking Price £160,000
This family business, established in 1939, and sustained by the current Owner’s interest and enthusiasm for classic and vintage cars specialises in the manufacture and supply of registration and licence plates for vintage and classic motor cars and motor bikes.
Having stayed with the classic and vintage era whilst virtually all other suppliers of registration and licence plates have switched to modern lettering, this business has little competition in the UK and consequently attracts customers from throughout the country and indeed from all over the world. Awareness of this business is an absolute must for anyone owning a classic or vintage car or motor bike – being able as it is to provide plates with the correct specification, details and dimensions for cars and motor bikes from when the very first regulations were laid down in the 1904 Road Traffic Act right through to the 1970’s.

| Facilities / Terms of Lease:
The business operates from premises shared with other family business interests. As such the business will need to be re-located.
It is estimated that a unit of approximately 1,000 square feet would be sufficient to house the full range of plant and equipment and stock required to run the business efficiently. With all of the trade done ‘remotely’, with no passing traffic the business can be re-located without any impact on trade whatsoever. |
