What do the correct age related plates look like for a 1972?

Black, with raised silver?

Thanks. [/quote]

Yes,usually pressed ally.

hmmm always thought 72 were yellow & white

I thought black plates were pre 71, may be wrong (again).

August 1st '73 is when white/yellow plates came in. M reg onwards. All L suffix plates can be black silver.

I'm wrong it's 1st January

you da man .. . looks like i have been fed duff info years a go or my brain has got confoosed

Sorry,1st JANUARY 73,not August. So some L reg will have to be white/yellow.

Thought so.

So.. what is you have a (example) '70 car with a 'P' plate? White and yellow?

'70 models made should be on a "H" plate white or silver letters on black.

Contact Matt for a letter proving age to take to your local licencing office to have it changed if it is on a P.

The law allows you to use white front/yellow plates on older cars if you want. But not black plates on a 73 and newer car.

And most of the Harleys out there.
