Should have released them before the GTF was released so people could have had the option to get these!

They finish off any GT nicely.

But the first Ford Australia badged GT came out in 1963 on the flanks of a Cortina, not 1967 as the number plate says.

True, but personally I think the reissue plates that people have already got are a better option for reasons as follows:

The commemorative plates come in full size only, so the front one hangs over the edge of the front bumper, whereas the slimline size, which the GTF-xxx reissue plates can come in, are a better fit. Reissue plates (GTF-xxx) can come in slimline size for the front and standard size for the rear, and are cheaper as well. Perhaps the rear plate only could have the footer slogan, but I dont think you would be able to get just one of those.

I'm really surprised that our money grabbing RMS (formally the RTA) didn't think of this first!
