* Number Plate Abroad

Posted on February 26th, 2009 by ploughmyfield. Filed under General.


I sold a number plate bracket to a customer in Belgium.

He was very pleased with it and wondered if I had made any to go on the left hand wing rather than the right as he has lots more tractors. It is also illegal to drive with one on the right and not the left whilst driving on the right of the road. I explained that I’d just had a batch made and it might be some time before I got some more made and had the chance to enquire about getting them folded to suit the left hand wing. It will be cheaper if I got a batch done than a one off.

Along with the enquiry Ivan sent some pictures of his restoration. I puts my efforts to shame. I thought you all might like to look how a restoration should look.

I love the space he has in his workshop and the number plate looks great.

Does anyone have information about the Lucas lighting kit that was made for the european market? I saw a model recently with the number plate on the left It looked funny. But then again the right one looks funny to people in europe.

    Hello Tim,

    In Holland most tractors where provided with lighting at either the dealership or the import company. Usualy Hella or Bosch bit’s, what ever was easely availeble. Not shure what the lucas kit looks like as we don’t have licence plates on any tractors here except for a few that travel abroad. (mostly close to the german and belgian border)
