Has any one had empirical experience of being hassled by the local gendarmes WRF the above?

Since I live in a rural area, I highly doubt that I would have a problem, however, perhaps some over-zealous rookie cop might pull me over and make an issue of it. (Keeping front marker in windscreen, in plain view, just in case).

In anticipation of an answer or two, I'll be sporting the 1943 plate at CC7.....or attendees may have to bail me out of jail!

Jon ,
Are you aware that you can apply for Year Of Manufacture plates? These YOM cost as much as a vanity plate and you have to provide them yourself. As stated earlier the plate number must be appropriate for the vehicle (not a Farm or Commercial plate) and must be in 'new' condition. Eric Booth knows of a guy who restores these plates. If you merely intend to show the plate when the vehicle is parked then the above doesn't matter. In my case I will get regular plates for my new (to me) M38A1 but will hang a set of DND plates on it, appropriately numbered, when I am parked at a MilVeh event.

Cheers,

Clive
