Prior to 2021, if you were lucky enough to own a pre-1973 classic or vintage vehicle you are entitled to an older style of plate. However, things changed in 2021, with the rolling 40 year tax exemption rule preventing the sale of vintage (black/silver) plates to vehicles newer than 1980s models.

Up until the mid 1930's many motorcycles had hand painted rear plates with 2 1/2 inch high digits. A number of bikes, particularly those manufactured in the UK, also had hand painted front curved plates. Aluminum silver or black classic number plates were introduced from the mid-1930’s which were used until 1973.
As the government began to run out of registration numbers it was decided to change the system and introduce a seventh digit, the year letter. Motorcycles manufactured from 1963 - 1973 often had larger plates to fit the seventh digit on the plate. Other plates used a smaller registration 1 3/4 inch high digit.
For any vehicles manufactured after 1st January 1973 it became legal to have reflective plates, with black digits with a yellow background on the rear. The plates were originally made of aluminium but were gradually superseded by acrylic plates.
Things changed in 2021, with the rolling 40 year tax exemption rule preventing the sale of vintage (black/silver) plates to vehicles newer than 1980s models.
