Title: Old Registration Label
Post by: CraigA on October 16, 2008, 09:37:26 PM
Does anyone have an old 1/4 window or windscreen glass with an early '70's NSW rego label fitted?

A picture of one would be really appreciated, even if its not in great condition.

Its for a period movie shoot.

Cheers,

Craig.

I've been able to get a 1969 one (thanks Les), a 1972 one (thanks George) and another 1972 one from someone else. So now we have an idea of the design required so thanks for the offer but we won't require the '66 one.

Does anyone know what colour they were in '73?

How good is your memory?  ;D

Craig,
Labels expiring in 1973 were purple.

Colours have followed a 7 year rotation for a long time.  From '71, it goes blue, red, purple, brown, green, orange, and then back to blue in 1977.  Work backwards or forwards with these colours and you should be pretty safe.  I have pics of most of these labels from about 1930's onwards.
