Do you know what the law is on front number plates for Trikes is Martyn, do we have to fit one on the new M3W?
This is one of those, "I thought I did" moments!
My answer would have been, "yes, you do need one in the UK". My understanding was that only motorbike derived three wheelers - ie with a single front wheel for the most part are exempt from a front number-plate.
One does see Grinnal Scorpions without a front number-plate but I assume they are stretching the 'motorbike derived' designation to the limit.
I won't say never, as things fall off all the time
but I've not seen any classic Morgan three wheelers without a front numberplate in the UK.
But - I have seen a few shots on new Morgan three wheelers without one, and been told second hand that Morgans were saying one was not needed. But that was second hand, and could be like their apparent 'understanding' of the convoluted weight regulations
I'm told in the UK lack of a front numberplate where one is needed is a £30 fine and no points. Probably why some Ferraris have no front numberplate, their owners can afford repeated fines (note though, if is a 'personalised plate' DVLA might take it back...).
Still think you need one really, but there are some doubts.
