Since April 2016, cars built before 01-01-1976 can wear the traditional black and silver registration plate rather than the current white and yellow reflective plates providing that an application is made to the DVLA and the car is registered as a historic vehicle.
Additionally vehicles constructed 40 or more years ago are exempt from vehicle excise duty. The 40 year exemption date rolls forward automatically each year on 1 April.
We can supply number plates if you wish to convert your car to the more historic look.
