Number Plate

Any of the leading number plate retailers should be able to assist you.
However most of them will offer to market it for you for X.
Have a look for similar plates to yours for sale. That will give you a rough idea of prices asked.
As to actual worth, it’s worth what someone is prepared to pay for it

Obviously 454 has meaning to American car guys due to ci size 454. To others it means nothing much. Could also refer to April (4) 1954 ( 54) as a birth year. HOT is pretty good tho.
Best of luck with the sale.

I remember registering a 460ci engined Lincoln at my local DVLA office, and the very young girl behind the counter checked my application. She questioned the engine size as 7400cc and I told her it’s correct. My god she said what is it an aeroplane 😂

Bastards won't let me assign it without getting a 'volunteer MOT' being 40 years or more of age then it has to be applied for by snail mail. Didn't used to be like that

Edited because I'm thick and angry
They certainly make it hard for something that should be so easy.

I would have said you had a good deal there mr C. 👍
I met him and got chatting while waiting to board the ferry to Isle of Man last Wednesday. He had GET SUM on his Porsche which started the convo and he kicked off at £1,800 Lets share a few beers over the next five days and see where we land I suggested and it all worked out

Trade plate will take some working out to many people. I’ve seen the “real” one. It was on a 1963 bullit Bird sports roadster It was mid 60’s then and I didn’t know nothing about nothing then
. I believe it was one of Teddy Turners.
When I got to know teddy well in the late 70’s he no longer had it.
Most of his thunderbirds had CAT plates,
CAT 1 cost him £25. He had the finest collection of thunderbirds and Aston martins in the UK.
A REAL character

Remember the first time someone took me out in a 61-63 TBird rag top. This was late 60's - left a lifelong impression. Never actually managed to own one.......my son however has owned his '62 coupe for 15 years or more. Also has Edelbrock heads, headers, cam and genuine early 60's FoMoCo dual quad dual plane inlet with twin Holleys....

A chap down the road from us bought a 58 “square bird” from my dad in the early sixties, then got a 63 bullitt bird ( cigar shape) He didn’t progress to the “flair bird” shape of 64-66, but got a beautiful 69 in gold. Always put his plate on each one which was 2 CUT.
Last saw the 69 in the middle 90’s, still looked good and still had the plate on it.

The hard tonneau cover of the sports roadsters really transformed the look of the 61-63 cars made them look even more sleeker.
T-Birds of that era also had beautiful interiors, very cockpit ish.
Love um.
