He is unable to do that. Therefore "for show use only".

Unless the plates are fitted to a pre-2001 motor because who can say if the plates were, or were not, made before or after 2001?
Actually, here's an interesting one: if I was ever to buy a post-2001 motor, I would fit my personal plates to it ~ plates which would/could have been made pre-2001. So, would this motor need plates with the plate maker's name/postcode on them?
Edit to add: both of my current cars, plus caravan, plus three other cars I have owned and sold in recent years, all have 'pre-2001' number plates on them. Never had a problem, on the road or at MOT time.

Yes, because they could check when the number was transferred to that vehicle, and if it was after the relevant date then you would need the correct legal plate.
I wonder why so many people are making a fuss about this, as it is sooo petty. If you need a new number plate the rules are quite plain. You have to prove what vehicle the plate is for and provide evidence of who you are, and the plates have to conform to a specified standard.
My local shop has a simple rule for ALL plates........you can't provide me with the right info you don't get a set of plates. End of!!

I've had plates made at above board commercial premises abiding by all the laws and not provided any documents at all, you don't need to depending on the circumstances.
The law isn't black and white / yellow at all on number plates.

I had some silver on black vinyl plates made up before and they worked out rather nice too.

Chap on landyzone has just had his motor failed because the letters weren't 79mm tall. Seems they're tightening up on dodgy plates.
