Front G60 arches on the rear??

Colour and dimensions
Black number plates with white or silver characters are permitted on vehicles manufactured before 1973.

Current plates have black characters on white reflective material (for the front plate) or on yellow reflective material (for the rear plate).

Older British plates had white, grey or silver characters on a black background. This style of plate was phased out in 1972, and is now legal to be carried only on vehicles built prior to 1 January 1973.

Front number plates are 520 mm x 111 mm (20.5" x 4⅜") in size. Rear plates may be 520 mm x 111 mm (standard), 285 mm x 203 mm (square) or 533 mm x 152 mm (large).[citation needed]

Motorcycles formerly had a double-sided number plate on top of the front mudguard, curved to follow the contour of the wheel and visible from the sides. The requirement for the front number plate was dropped in 1975 because of the severe danger these presented to pedestrians in the event of a collision.

Specialist HM Forces vehicles use black plates with white lettering.

Is the black rear number plate legal? nice looking car

only on classic cars

but i guess they are classics in one way or another

I like it.. on a serious note though they are illegal and if caught as often I have been, it's a severe telling off or a fine or both! At the moment the car runs legal plates for peace of mind and as I am getting older and supoose to be setting a good example, I tend to leave the legal ones on lol....

Have you got a link?? Woudlnt mind a further look at that. And I am a bit of a perfectionist so would like to think I'd do it right

could probably find it again but it was just that one pic, don't know where the rest of the info about that 2 door is. get searching the vast-ness of vwvortex!
