Some early Morgans (and I believe all French ones) have the number plate
valance turned up. It was a recommended option for trials competitors. I
can confirm that my currently sick plus 4 has frequent contact with the
ground on North Hampshire (UK) roads, especially when driven with more
enthusiasm. Someone out there may have a pattern, or the factory may supply
one.
The UK also suffers front number plates. Over here they hang on 2 mild
steel strips from the bumper support bolts. Oddly enough it doesn't hit the
ground, but it does have a problem with high kerbs.

Fellow fiends:
I'm looking for suggestions on hardware for a rear licence mount for me
'67 4/4 (the best damn Morgan ever made, including those "big bore" +4s
(if you catch my meaning)). ;-)
Anyway, back to the point. My plates have historically resided below the
bumper, that is, scrapping on the ground (almost). I'm thinking that if
I get the licence mount from an MGA that I ought to be able to rig it up
to look like I didn't "rig it up." Any
comments/flames/suggestions/donations?
How do you mount the rear plate on your car? In NJ we regretably have a
front plate too (profoundly UGLY on a car whose desingers didn't intend
it) so I'm open to suggestion on how to mount that
one as well. My front bumper is not drilled to mount a front plate, but
that
isn't a problem of course. Any CLEVER solutions to this nagging dilema?
I can imagine more important questions for this group, I'll agree, but
they just don't come to me right now.
