Readers’ Photos # 80: XL Falcon Ute
The Alfa Male has acquitted himself well, having demonstrated a knack of finding early Falcon utes and wagons for this 'blog. It's a great looking car that looks to be unrestored with genuine, all-original patina.
The rego plates are particularly interesting, as they're the pre-reflectorised, three letter / three numeral style that hasn't been available in Tasmania since 1970. I'm not sure how one goes about registering a car with old plates these days but I do know that it's possible to the have older-style two letter / four numeral personalised plates remade, which is on my agenda, the AW-0001s having taken a battering over the past three and a half decades.
I imagine it must be the same process whereby you 'buy' the number from Tas Plates so that, in effect, they become personalised or custom plates. Not a bad way to complete a period-correct restoration, I reckon.
