why not i use my 43 jeep weekly and yesterday went for a ride on my 39 BMW no problems at all (well a few with the bike as is not been out for a run for a few months)

[Paul Woodbyrne]

yes a jeep no problem ss plates you might get attacked......?

Nice job on the plate aging but it looks out of place on your Type 82 since the plates look beat up compared to your Kubel. In fact a quick spot check of license plates on period photos of WWII Kubelwagens show that some of the plates are dirty none of them look beat-up like your aged plates.

That looks makes it more subdued...less visible so the SS stands out less...for those who would get offended...???? (front plate)

I have to agree with this, I don't think the rust effect would have happened in service. Did you consider using off-white instead of flat white to make them appear less 'shiny brand-spanking new'?

Your Kubel is lovely.

Dont you have UK legal plates for the road every vehicle i have is road legal all my German bikes have SS or WH plates but not for normal riding/driving

[Paul Woodbyrne]

Yes i have road legal plates, but dont use them, i think this would solve the problem, having said that why should i have to cover them up its history so just live with it.

[Lloyds]

is its history a SS kubel ? .Most ww2 vehicle owners dont realy mind street legal plates as they allow them to enjoy driving/riding legally any time for fun and enjoyment especially after a long rebuild

I cover mine up with refrigerator magnets when i drive on the street, and when trailering it on public roads. I am afraid in todays climate someone may see the runes and put two and two together and vandalize me at a rest stop or restaurant...or even driving dow nthye road i have an open trailer ...i was going to make some that said "peace " or " or a guy sticking his thumb out,funk bros style or "Thing " !!! my legal plate i hang off the rear notek with an equiptment strap !!!
