Hi guys,
Im hoping that you will be able to help me on this one, i was going through some mini magazines this evening and i noticed that one of the minis has white and black front plates and the rear had black and red. Upon trying to find some information on this it appears that cars pre 87 had the option of having these colours but it seems that this was in ireland. Am i able to have red and black plates on the rear in england or is it a no go?
I have found this on a pdf file on the department of transport which i presume is from ireland
