Number plates

Does anyone know for certain whether you can run number plates on an HISTORIC car (1973 reg) that are not WHITE front YELLOW rear At the moment it has black plates with either silver or dirty white numbering.

Hi Rob, according to the DVLA all number plates on vehicles registered from 1st Jan 1973 should be of reflective material. They were an option from 1968. Hope this helps.

Thanks Stuart , the AROC guys are telling me that police don't normally bother with us older chaps cruising gently along in historics , even though the plates aren't correct . They chase the '' max power '' boys with a whole band in the boot and silly plates.
I won't be roaring around like a teenager when roading it , it'll get it's excersize on track
