We have different laws in Norfolk :)

That and the police probably think it is still 1974 here ;)

The law for silver and black plates was only on vehicles first registered before 1 January 1973. It had been so since 1974.

last year the MOT regulations were re written and a typo (or maybe oversight on the part of the naive office administrator) read that silver and black numberplates were acceptable on cars classified as Historic Road Tax, rather than giving the 73 date cut off.
Since the Historic tax classification is now on a rolling year basis, technically you can now use silver and black plates on cars built before 1st Jan 1976, and next year it'll be 1st Jan 77 and so on.
It wont be until April 2022 that cars built before 1st Jan 1982 will bring all 1981 cars into Historic tax and then we can have black and silver plates on a delorean. That's if they don't throw the 73 date back in ;)

Only if you are in a state that doesn't require a front plate. Try that in NY or NJ and they will ticket you.
