Can't stop me doing a copy and paste so here's the first post

"I note from page 8 of the latest FBHVC newsletter that at a recent meeting with the DVLA their representatives were told that the cut-off date for black and white number plates is linked to the historic taxation class date." ...


Thanks for posting. I still can't find where I read it myself but the FBHVC is obviously where this originated.

The newsletter mentioned is Issue 4 2015 and can be found (although not easily!) on the Federation's website here: www.fbhvc.co.uk/members-pages/newsletter-archive/.

The relevant paragraph on page 8 is this:

Non-Reflective Number Plates
At every meeting with DVLA we learn something completely
new! In this case it is that the end date for black and white
(or silver and white) number plates is linked to the historic tax
class date. So we were told that non-reflective plates are now
permitted on vehicles built before 1 January 1975.
