It says about the rolling date for "Historic Vehicles" in the Government document I linked....
Since April 2016 vehicles manufactured before 1 January 1976 can display the older style plates. You must:
* have applied to DVLA, and
* be registered within the ‘historic vehicles’ tax class

Thankyou Tomb. 🙂

I concur about people wanting their shiny new vehicle not to look old fashioned. My Land Rover was first registered in 1969 and still has its original 'G' registration plate in yellow, white on the front.
My 1974 CB500 can now have a black plate but I can't be bothered and it looks wrong. My 1972 CB350 has a black plate which I made myself in the 80s - no longer legal. When it goes for the MOT in a few weeks I think I will go for black plate but then the whole bike is very ratty and looks much older than it is really.
If you want to be authentic in every detail, none of the bikes on this forum should have black plates and personally, whatever age a bike is, I would not have a front number plate.

For authenticity look at your old pics.
My new SS125 Aug 70 J plate... Black and silver with blade type front.
My new T100C Triumph Aug 72 L plate...Yellow plate with front flat over the headlamp.
My new CB500 Aug 74 N plate...Yellow plate with blade type front.
Have a few other examples, but the fact is as soon as the yellow plates became legal dealers fitted them as standard and nearly everyone wanted them.
Not sure of the legal position on front plates, but I would never fit one for a road bike.

I have bikes with white on black I made myself, why is this no longer legal?
