Number plates

Orcade-Ian:
I know many folk don’t like classic black/alloy plates on stuff that was never allowed to have them originally but does anyone know for sure if the designation of historic class automatically allows use of the earlier plates?

The DVLA site only says that vehicles 40 years old in 2015 are allowed and therefore APPEARS not to have been updated (no surprise there)

MrDavo:
Certainly in the day the cut off was 31/12/1972, as was explained to me by a copper who’d pulled me with a black and white plate on a 1977 Triumph. I don’t see why that would have changed.

Arch stanton:
 I can't see it changing. As the Police don't like the fact that
ANPR can't read them. Unless I'm mistaken.

Orcade-Ian:
It has already changed from 72 to 75 but I wondered if it was on the same rolling program as historic status.

Moorey:
Not according to the dvla.
Since April 2015 vehicles manufactured before 1 January 1975 can display the older style plates. You must:
•have applied to DVLA, and
•be registered within the ‘historic vehicles’ tax class.
