Performance car models... with personalised plates


Saw this over the weekend and thought what a great idea for the performance car fan in your family. It’s a model of their favourite car – owned or aspired to – with a personalised plate. You can put anything you like on the front as long it’s eight characters or less. Each is colour-correct; black lettering on white at the front, and black on yellow for the rear, and silver on black for older vehicles. They will do names, dates, football club initials like ‘MUFC’, actual number plates, messages or words. I had a look at the website www.model-marque.com where they’re sold and there are hundreds of cars available. Check out the picture above for just three ideas. (I’ve got a friend Dale who is just about to turn 40 – how spooky is that?!). There are also plenty of WRC and Formula One race cars, as well as a slightly bizarre sideline in tractors. Each replica is roughly 25cms long and and many feature opening doors, bonnet and boot.
