I have a personalised number plate which is an S reg. Can I put it on a car older than an S reg? I always thought I couldn't, but no one else seems to agree and now I don't know where I got that impression from!
Because hugnie21 wants to put it on a car that's older than an S reg, therefore making it appear newer than it actually is.
Basically, you can put the reg on a car that is newer than indicated by the reg (thus making it appear older) but not on an older car (thus making it appear newer).
ianess - your answer is that you can put an S reg plate on an older car, which you then explained was illegal. Your answer would be correct if the question was 'Can I put an older plate on an S reg car?'
