Metal number plates

I want to get some new number plates. Preferably metal ones with raised letters.

My local carstuff shop said they are now illegal?

Don't think so! I think that the only limitations are if for example you wanted the old metal plates that are silver letters on black background on a car that didn't have them originally - (I think from the K Reg in the 70's)

Hairy,  must be reg's before 01/01/73

Thanks for the lead crazyquiff, I have ordered a "1918 LIBERTY V12 AERO ENGINE"

Now, about those numberplates!

NICE

I know there are plans to bring in age related restrictions to all new number plates designs i.e only cars from the respective era will be eligiable for new retro-style plates, has this already happened?

Well, just checked out the above who have what I want.

She said it would be fine on a 1980 car.

But I think the law has changed recently.
