Number plates (2)

[Fletcher]

there is 2 cars driving around my area with strange rear plates, they are a black background with white writing :?: they look like the really old style (ie 1950's)

the first is a sri nova, and the 2nd is a brand new porsche GT2


does anyone know if thay are legal or not, if thay are why would someone spend 100k on on a porsche and fit illegal rear plates :roll:

i think u will find that there just show plates mate on that pic etc - i agree only older cars can have old style plates

we had an old L reg range rover, not last one but time before

GOM 943L it was - and even that had standard plates

[Alex]

yep, your l reg just missed out on the old style plates. They were changed half way through the k reg

Cars older than 1973 innit?? Pop into your local halfords tomorrow for a look at their num plate board...it says on there...i can see the board in my head with 197....but cant think of the last number :lol: :roll:

And if he has a porche, then he probably doesnt give a crap for illegal numberplates. Th only penalty he can get, is a ?60 fine.

My mate drove a ferrari with a private plate (well, he got one made up to say MONEY - it wasn't registered or anything) and whenever he got stopped he'd just pay them the fine. And not bother taking it off, just keep paying fines every so often. :lol: :roll: Said it was cheap. And worth it.

:lol:

old style plates look pretty poor anyway

I have to say mine looked fairly cool. When I had em on mine it was glacier white with black bumpers, and the black plates looked wicked :D

i'll see if ican find a pic of it.

Having spent a while looking at old cars, The oldest I've seen is 1969 G reg, with Yellow plates.

Black plates are OK, but I personally think they look better when they're proper metal plates, and on older cars.

my dads 1973 reliant scimitar (3 litre V6 :) k reg - 1973 i think) had black plates till someone hit him. they looked so much better than the yellow ones on his car.
