Is it a suffix K - ie 1971 or prefix K 1992? If its a suffix 71 then you can have black/silver plates.
No it's a 92. I wonder if I'd ever get pulled if I put em on anyway? They'd only tell me to change em I think. Police don't seem to stop those who put the lst letter of the first sequence next to the second grouping for fake private reg appearance these days. Would I get a fine d'ya reckon?

Yes, and it is possible that they would not let you proceed on your journey until you changed them.
Probably depends on how busy they are when they see you!
The only way to get round it is with a military vehicle. As has already been posted, 1992 is too young for a civilian vehicle.
It might have been. I wonder if we all can vind out who previous owners were? Mine's had 5

There was a thread not too long ago. Someone wanted to find the previous owner, as I don’t think the “new style” V5C has them details on it anymore? They wrote off to DVLA, under an FOI request, and were told no under the DPA(or new GDPR).
Just the one I got when I bought it. I've looked into it and unfortunately, with the European data protection laws, the DVLA had to stop disclosing, though to be fair, I'm surprised they used to do it. I've cut off contact with the previous owner cos he lied a lot to me, so I don't suppose there's any chance of doing a history of my tratter now. A lot of classic car owners who used to do it are disappointed that they can no longer trace for prosperity.I found all 7 owners of my RR
Have you got any old V5's?

Vehicles 40 years old & over, registered as 'historic' on the DVLA database (just because it's that age doesn't mean it's automatically so registered, you have to notify them) may display black & white/silver reg. plates.
You cannot have an age related plate 'younger' than the vehicle's first registered age/year.
nb: I had a RRC years ago when the rules allowed me to obtain details of all 15 (yes, fifteen) owners for the payment of £5.00

Not totally correct. It’s vehicles registered before the 1st of January 1975 that can legally display a black & silver number plate providing they are registered with the Historic Vehicles taxation class.Vehicles 40 years old & over, registered as 'historic' on the DVLA database (just because it's that age doesn't mean it's automatically so registered, you have to notify them) may display black & white/silver reg. plates.

So my 1976 Capri must keep the white/yellow plates that it had from day one. And yes it’s in the HVT class, so no mot or tax required at all now.
Someone on another post once said it could've been, just because it was a really basic one, but I don't think it was.

yeah i had a detailed look at your build thread and cant see anything that point to military, and there would be a trace.
is it an original 200tdi?
the military never had 200tdi
