I ibrooks Member Messages 1,075 May 15, 2019 #3 Cars "Made" before 1st Jan 1973 can wear black and white or black and silver plates. Or if they are in the historic tax class and pre 1st Jan 1979. Always surprised me that the cutoff date was the new year and not the registration year. https://assets.publishing.service.g...stration-numbers-and_number-plates-inf104.pdf

Once it has been declared Historic class you can then make it look silly with non age related plates. Bear in mind that in '73, everyone was desperate to have reflective plates, so you really would be unlikely to see black plates after that.
