Ian, thanks for that. It appears that the format of the plate had changed from '37 to '40. Although mine is a repro, I think that the patent numbers as displayed are correct for a 1940 plate.
The VN on my plate is actually a fictional engine number. It was shown on the Seattle tile and then repeated on the Oregon title and then again on the UK title.
I have given up on trying to trace the real VN for my car. It would have been DE 1395-????. However, I was successful in locating and getting the correct engine number on my car changed on my UK registration document.
Seems these numbers are rather elusive as the wrong engine number is stamped on my repro patent plate. How this ever happened is a mystery to the two previous owners and I get no reply from the owner before that would be the only one to have ever seen the original number.
Anyhow I am pleased to see you original plate. Looks good. Consider yourself lucky!
