Classic Plates On-line - mail order service.

Depending whereabouts in the UK you are, you could drop into a branch of Polar and have then done while-u-wait. Polar Ford in York (opposite Portakabin/Shepherds) do them.

I thought it was somewhere between 1972 and 1973.

Found this.

Black Number Plates

Only vehicles constructed* before January 1st 1973 can carry black number plates with either silver, white or grey letters. Vehicles after this date must carry the reflective white at the front and yellow at the back type.

*A vehicle registered in 1973 can have black plates if you can proove it was constructed in 1972.

Unless of course it was registered in Jersey where they are still silver on black, but you're supposed to pay VAT if you bring them over here
