Just seen a black landy
V8MoneyPit:
Vehicles first registered before 1st Jan 1973 can use them legally.
However, if you can prove the vehicle was *built* prior to this and not registered until later, you are likely to get the option of using them. This was common with military use vehicles. For example we have a customer with an R reg (1976-1977) Morris Traveller on black plates ..... they stopped building them in 1971! This car spent all it's early life unregistered on an RAF base. Then got registered for the road in 1976.
I know someone who had black plates on her silver Polo. Looked smart, but she now has 'proper' plates having had a warning by a Police officer.

so how does the 'defender black' series work then?
cos mums 'defender of ethnic origin' doesnt sound quite right
Thrasher:
It's one thing to break the speed limit for a few minutes (as in another way of breaking the law in a vehicle) etc, but to have illegal plates permanently affixed? I can't see the point. There's a Jag in our car park with the same thing. Yes it looks nice, but at the end of the day the plates are either "display" plates, or made illegally too :(
I put it in the zone as those idiots that have private plates and then mess around with the fonts and spacing to make them say something. Stupid.

i believe maximum penalty for any numberplate offence is £30, no points?!

A maximum fine of £1000 and if it's a cherished plate you could forfeit it.
