Another period number plate question.....
Discussion
OK,
I understand that any vehicle registered after January 1st 1973 must have the "new" type of reflective plates
However, I have a 2011 Royal Enfield 500cc motorbike that to all intents and purposes looks like a 1955 one, only "enthusiasts" would be able to spot the difference.
The only thing is the "new" yellow/black number plate looks out completely of place, it would look far better with a black & white pressed steel plate, but obviously I don't want to fall foul of the law.
I was thinking...
...if I purchased a dateless plate from a 1950's/60's car or motorbike cheaply, for example 123 ABC or even a dated one pre '73 for example MMF 45G would that be allowed, because the plate is now legally linked to my bike, once I have paid the DVLA transfer fee?
