Number Plate Owner Registration 1966 Duplicate
31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 31x27 inches (787x685mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the charming town of Ramsbottom, this vintage print showcases Mr. Sam West proudly posing next to his beloved MG Magnet. Dated 22nd August 1966, this snapshot takes us back to a time when cars were not just modes of transport but symbols of personal style and status. What makes this image even more intriguing is the registration number on Mr. West's MG Magnet - F U 1. Little did he know that across the country, in bustling London, another car owner named Mr. Philip Smith also possessed a Jaguar with the exact same number plate! A fascinating coincidence that would spark an amusing rivalry between these two automobile enthusiasts. Both unwilling to give way over their cherished registration number, it became a lighthearted battle of pride and determination between Mr. West and Mr. Smith. This anecdote from the swinging sixties perfectly captures the passion people had for their vehicles during that era. Eddie Rawlinson's expertly preserved photograph transports us back to a time when cars were not just machines but extensions of one's personality and individuality. It serves as a nostalgic reminder of how something as simple as a number plate could ignite friendly competition and camaraderie among car owners.
