It's confusing because the new reg numbers came out in April (I think) each year so each suffix letter will span two calendar years.

Number plates
I was correct inasmuch as white/yellow plates were compulsory from 1st January, 1973, however there is now a 40 year rolling exemption whereby vehicles manufactured before 1 January, 1975 can display the older style plates. You must: have applied to DVLA, and be registered within the 'historic vehicles'.
The 40 year exemption date rolls forward automatically each year on 1 April . Google DVLA and read information sheet INF104 which can be downloaded and explains all. This appears to beg the up-to-date. |

It is an interesting perspective. looking to what is strictly age specific or with historic nostalgic perspective.
I know that for me with this age of car I would move to the historic black background plates: not what would have happened for a new registration at the time but hey.... |

Were those first white/yellow plates with raised letters actually reflective? I seem to remember they weren't but could be wrong...

The rear ones definitely were - I still have an original pair for one of my cars - a J Reg. If you look at the 1968-9 colour pictures of the saint Volvo you can see their reflective ST1 plates.
