always go for black and silver.

1966/67 or thereabouts, I remember having a set made for my Austin Champ
and
being asked if I wanted the new plates or not.

It's a reply to Peter Forbes' query on the date of compulsory fitting of
reflective plates. It's a part of the thread that You started on number
plates. He diversified from the main theme which is what I thought threads
invariably did, promote discussion on a theme!

Yes, Just noticed that it was Pete M who originally wondered about the date
of compulsory fitment of reflectives.

Um, I actually wondered about when they first appeared, rather than when
they were made compulsory ;-).
