As from New Years day 2021 no car built after 1st January 1980 can have black and silver number plates displayed. The DVLA have closed the loophole whereby Historic Vehicles (40 years + old, and registered as Historic) could avail themselves of this. Basically they made a mistake (again.....)!!
The build date is the deciding factor so if you cannot prove it, like my 1979 160J Violet, the DVLA show the build date as December 31st for the same year as registration.
Thus, my 1979 Violet CAN display black and silver plates as its "build date" is 31st December 1979. Hurrah! However, I have no intention of changing from the modern plates as I like originality.
