Dealer Plates and how do I know where mine came from

[Chris Latham]

chris i have some genuine ford quicks dealer plates from around 96 with our personal plate on,they are different from above as in a totally different style so could be worth a look at too

Hi Karl

Thats great, would like to see them. Any chance of a good face on pic of them.

The ones above are for 89-93 i was told by the chap who had an original set fitted.

Cheers

Chris

usually sat mornings about 11 ish i'm there but only if my mate is doing the van as he helps out on a saturday and she has a day off,if he's got a big job on landscaping he knocks it on the head but he is usually there 95% of the time on a saturday.

thats my mates mrs kerry you met,top banana she is with a frying pan

its evans halshaw now its been bought out again

Cheers for the info Graham, makes my nostalgic trip back there seem a bit stupid now so I may not bother.

Hmm a red escort bought brand new from Quicks Altrincham eh ?? wonder if it was a utd player as a few of them had RS's bitd,i had a red mk7 escort rs2000 that came from there and it was a lease car and the story went it was leased to utd and beckhams when he was a junior player. Could of been bollocks so i never mentioned it when selling as its not my style

Who were the big name players for Man Utd in 94 then, is it around the Roy Keane era? As he is en ex Forest player that would be who I would choose as the first user of my car. Im not usually that lucky though.

Jay

Yes ive done those in the past bud

Chris, Im loving the look of all that mate, can you let me know exactly what you have for Quicks Altricham, or H & J Quick ltd, 258 Manchester Road, Altrincham, WA14 5LZ, Phone:064 929 0365 to be precise, and the prices and postage etc and of course where I can send a my cheque as I would definatly like to buy. Stick it in a PM to save cluttering up this thread.

Much apprieciated, Jay.

[COZZFATHER]

the altrincham was exactly the same as above.

i do remember though Chris that i saw a blakes ford tax disc holder once and it said... Blakes Fordmost on Merseyside which i thought was neat. I don't remamber seeing the quicks bubble though and i had a lot of quicks cars and bought cars and vans from my local one,must be a old design

you do have to remember though that in the day quicks chester or altrincham would of been 0244 and 061 and not 01244 and 0161,that came around in ooh about 93-94 i think.

This is an old site but all the info needed is on it

Cheers Karl. Be nice to see the blakes one

I asked for info on various sites but got nothing back so i had to base the decal and sticker on the original plate image that was sent to me.



Back in the day, dealer stickers and dealer tax disk holders were frowned upon as ugly and were usually ripped out for a richbrook chrome job and a fido dido/no fear sticker.

Makes it super difficult for me as i can only go off original pics and info sent to me, which can be very scarce so i have to do the best i can with what i have got in front of me. I think mine look better than originals anyway LOL.

The quicks plate above was for Dave off hear and his is a 96 Cos. I believe the phone number changed 16/04/1995 (phoneday).

If you have any old images or plates etc then please dig them out as they help me know end in building up my original dealer file.

The quicks (bubble) tax disk holer is an original as i have it here in front of me. I havent a clue what era its from though.

Cheers

Chris

[COZZFATHER]

must be pretty old then as i never saw them bubble style in the late 80's thru the last days of about 2003 when it became bramhall-quicks as pendragon took them over and started bastardising the company.


i'll be there tommorow if you want to borrow the plates to see what they are like.

i found the quicks plates so will stick them in me van.


cheeRS Karl.........

ps if he's not there tommorow i'll send you a pm late tonight when i get in

Long gone im afraid mate, jennings has been the dealer in boro for a long time now.

[COZZFATHER]

my old man had a black 79 rs2000 custom reg cdc776t that was from neshams of teeside,the rear window sticker was still in it and i removed it back in the day.
thats how come i can remember as it fell to bits and took me ages so the name neshams is familiar to me

[chicksrs]

Cheers for the Gen ginge, not surpriced that they have changed names,as this always seems to happen nowadays.
Cheers also Cozzfather for the infor, I am hoping chris on here maybe able to help

Would love to get the plates back to what they would of been like when the car was first sold. So do you have any ideas how these would of looked and how much you could make me a set up for? Would also be interested in a Tax Disk Holder and rear window sticker

Many Thanks for any help / advice.

Hi Ian

Yes Im sure i can help you out no problem. I have done a few Tristar plates in the past.

When i did the first set, which was Tristar Tildesley i didnt have their original logo at the time so i did some hunting and still couldnt find anything.

I asked the customer if he had anything in his service history with a logo on and he found an original business card from the sales rep who sold the car.





This then give me anough amo to design the full dealer sets below.





Kind regards
