Badge peter wilson ltd - United Kingdom - 20th - late

A wonderfully unusual piece of late-1980s motoring history: an original matching pair of British registration plates carrying period LADA dealer advertising.

The lot consists of the original front and rear registration plates from the same vehicle:

F744 FDH

The white front plate and yellow rear plate both retain the original dealer markings:

LADA
Peter Wilson Ltd

That combination is what makes this pair especially interesting. These are not simply old British number plates — they are a surviving reminder of the period when Soviet-built Lada cars were officially sold through British dealerships.

The registration prefix “F” dates the vehicle to the 1988–1989 registration period, right in the era when Lada had a visible presence on British roads.

The plates retain their original mounting holes and genuine signs of use. The dealer advertising remains clearly visible and gives the pair excellent character.

Approximate dimensions of each plate: 52 × 11 cm

A great collectible for enthusiasts of:

LADA, Soviet automobiles, British motoring history, dealer memorabilia, vintage number plates and garage decor.

And with a little humour:

A Soviet Lada, sold by a British dealer — perhaps one of the more unexpected East-meets-West collaborations of the 1980s.

Or, if you prefer:

Proof that in the 1980s even Britain could wake up one morning and decide: “Yes, today we need a Lada.” :) :) :)

Both original plates are sold together as one lot and exactly as shown in the photographs.
