Ivaan Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Hi, I've been told that because my car is a Q plate, I can legally have Black & White plates, with the front over the nosecone, but I'd like to double check. It's something to do with Q plate cars being treated as if they are prior to 1978?? Can anyone confirm, or know where to find the regs? Thanks, Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadru77er Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I'm pretty sure Q plates have to be yellow/white with black letters not white on black certainly don't recall seeing too many "old style" Q plates. Non reflective plates can only be fitted to pre 1973 vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcNS Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I would be interested to know when the Q plate first came out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierson Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 1983 according to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Jonathan Kay Posted July 19, 2014 Member Share Posted July 19, 2014 This area on the GOV.UK site. The input data to the logic that you'll need are: * Date of first registration * Date of vehicle manufacture. I don't know what the second of these means if you have a "Q" plate.
