Metal numberplates in UK

If you’re tired of deteriorating Perspex numberplates, Danz Benz has the solution: pressed metal items compliant with the latest standard, BS AU 145e. German engineered, fully legal and thoroughly tested for 2,350 hours over six months for reflection, deformation and weathering, they promise to smarten your car.

With this standard introduced in early 2018 and made compulsory by October 1 2021, it’s important to make sure new numberplates are legal otherwise there’s the risk of a hefty fine. A magnetic ‘UK’ badge is available for driving abroad should you opt for the ‘GB’ plate. See www.eutags.com. Danny Lucas, founder of Kent-based Danz Benz, has an incredible collection of Mercedes-Benz cars that were featured.
