Do you know what they look like at all? If you have one to copy, it would be simple to create something for you.
I doubt that Vicroads would approve it though. They love to be painful!

Vic roads are F....wits.There is this 1 Fat ugly mole at dandenong and i go there at least twice a week. She has Zero personality and makes everyones life hard. I employed a guy about a month ago and the second day i sent him to vic roads. He copt this fat old tyre biter and he came back and quit. He said he doesnt have to put up with that shit for any amount of money, and you know what. He's right.

Sorry for that glen. If you find out where those labels come from let me know. I last heard of that guy at ballarat swap meet a few years ago.

Greensborogh IS much the same, i go to Kyeton, just past lancfeild or Seymor and never have a problem.
As for the stickers my mate has about 10 rego stickers on his old EH restorer project wtill on the windows, i can always take some close up pics if Matt wants to try and replicate them. Some of them are in quite good condition for thire age.

Hi Glen
Reverting to your original question - I don't know who makes facsimilies of
the original labels.
I doubt that Vicroads or the coppers would recognise such a label and its a fineable
offence to drive a vehicle without a valid rego sticker.
The issuing authority of Vic. rego labels in the 1970s was the Chief Commisioner of Police according to the label - Not Vicroads.
If you were wanting the original style label for show purpose I think you could probably get away with displaying it as well as a current Vicroads label.
Incidentally the old labels were a permanent water slide transfer that could only be applied once. As you are probably aware they were predominantly white with a coloured border which changed every year and had a large numeral on the left side indicating the month of expiry. Each label had a unique serial number on it and
the vehicle details ( make, type, reg no. , expiry day & eng no. ) were typed on the label in upper case.
The label was brown for 1968 expiry - orange for 1970 and bright blue for 1971.
I think I have a couple of old originals somewhere - they never went onto one of my cars at the time ( 1970/71 ). I could probably scan them for you if I can locate them. PM me if you want me to dig them out.
Cheers JR.

I stuck my rego sticker on last month and i am pretty sure i read on the letter to 'remove all old rego stickers'.
I can understand doing it for show purposes, but its likely to cause problems.

did the old rego stickers go on the front windscreen? or one of the side windows?
Also You dont have to "Stick" the label to the windscreen, if you could get it made to be the same material as those P plates that stick to the window, but without the holes. It could easily be stuck on at a car event, and pulled off when driving. And then with you current Vic Roads one, just have it bluetacked or stickytaped to the windscreen, and u can pull it down at a car event?

The removable sticker material (like some P plates) is called electrostatic vinyl...
