Is it now rolling or is it fixed at that date?

From what I've read, it's rolling to the beginning of every FY.

On a similar subject does anyone know where I can get black and white G suffix showplates made up for my '89 Cooper s rep? Some companies I've approached won't do it because they're not legal for the road.

I like period correct plates anyway, newer minis look crap on black and silver plates, 50s cars look crap on yellow or white modern ones!

I have a set of these for shows, but have legal plates for day-to-day use.

IMO the metal plates with the plastic figures look more period for a 70's/80's car than the black and silver ones

My 1968 Cooper is almond green and has yellow and white plates with black aluminium numbers, I believe they were optional at the time of registration and were probably fitted to the car when it was first registered. I have recently restored the car and the plates and I think they suit the car well.

Ive got black and silver show plates, to tie in with the silver bonnet stripes/roof. Think it looks ok but would never use them as daily plates on a car that wouldnt have had them as standard.

I got some original John Cooper Garage ones made up with the correct font for pre2001.
Black and silver is cool, but period correct plates also look spot on.
