They used to be classified as illegal years ago, don't know if that changed at all. Think it was because the numberplate was not vertical.

currently they are only allowed as a sticker. you still need a legal numberplate.

Pretty sure they made quite a thing of it when ANPR took off.
I think you could have a 2 line plate on your grille (external ignition shield), but I'm not offering to pay anyone's fine if I'm wrong

Self Adhesive Number Plates
However, these plates are NOT road legal!
Why?
We believe that because these number plates use to be sold in kit form in shops, it meant people could make their own plates. DVLA did not want the consumer making their own plates:-

Yep. That is what we used to do.

Don't plates have to have the supplier's ID on them now?
Still, if your Min's old enough how would they prove your plates don't predate the rules.
Don't Historics also have the option of using black plates now? So we're half to that being on all Minis.

Yes, once a car is registered as historic it can have black plates now if the owner wishes, even if it would not have had them legally when new. This applied from when tax exemption became rolling again at 40 years.
BS No. could not be required retrospectively on a veteran, vintage or classic car as how would you prove the age/era of the plates? Carbon dating?

I remember sticking on the BS number to the plates I made 40 years ago, so that has been a thing for a long time - but we also flogged tin plates and individual characters on reflective backgrounds.

My 1964 'S' has always had a black rectangle painted on the bonnet and I bought the white numbers & letters from a local sign maker.
I have only had one problem. On a rally in Wales I was putting in petrol in the middle of the event when a young Welsh 'Plod' came up and said "I hope you realise that your number plate is illegal". Fortunately I was with a friend who was driving our service car, He had helped me to build the car and also had a Mk.1 'S'. He was also an Inspector in the Met. He produced his warrant card and said, quietly, "P*** off, son". Off he went!
I am about to paint the same rectangular black bit on the bonnet of a Mk.1 lookalike I'm building for my Grandson.
My 1990 Cooper 1275 road-rally car has a rectangular plate on the bonnet which is white with black letters. Again, never had any problems. but I wouldn't lose any sleep if I did.
