looking into getting one of these number plates. pictured below. just want to know if these are legal or not. can't find any info on them & have read the dvla site



I believe they were used on vintage cars.

Thanks

i think our plates should be changed from yellow at the rear. they look fucking gash. plenty of other countries manage perfectly well without yellow rear plates.

anyone doing anything illegal will anyway be in a stolen car or have fake plates so they should allow them

better in the states you can drive without a front plate, it is illegal but how many cars there actually have both on

More than likely cause forward facing camera's dont flash for obvious reasons.
