Old Skool Black and Silver Number Plate

Does anyone have an old skool UK black and silver number plate on their car and if so, do you get any hassle from the police?

I was looking at this last week, we has a discussion in our local section about this.

The car has to be pre 1st jan 1973 to be allowed to have back and silver plates. I was wanting them for my Dark silver\Black S

You should only have these on vehicles built before 01/01/73.

If you were on my patch with this, I'd definitely be stopping you!

Hmmmm

Yup I already guessed it would be illegal and frowned upon. I guess I get a set made and then whack then on when I go across to Le Mans. Purely asethetic, but I am sure the French coppers will not bother with then. Did see a black DB9 with some on the M25 recently, it looked klass

I saw a bright orange Lambo with "28 HOT" in black/silver right in the centre of London. I guess if you can afford cars like that you can afford to get away with it...... if you know what I mean.

I have them legally on my pre 1973 Classic Mini ....................... but it must be very obvious to any police officer that no New MINI with black/silver plates was ever on the road before 2001, did see a black New MINI Cabriolet on Top Gear run with them fitted though.
