As stan said they have to be standard for the nct.So you can use the new ones until the nct and jst change them for that.Or you might meet a tool of a guard who wants you to change them out of badness!

Do EU plates have to be on all cars or is it just after a particular year. I have an 86 mini with black & silver plates. Do they need to be changed for the NCT?

I think you must have E.U plates until it becomes a classic (30 years) but they must be standard sive. I haven't really heard of anyone being stopped over it tho as I know a good few people driving in Twincams and babycams with black and silver plates so they aren't to pushed about it (in Dubland anyway).

If it is an 86 car then it should have a white front plate and a red rear plate unless it has been re-registered to the newer 86 XX 123 format when it has to have white plates front and rear, it doesn't have to have the blue Euro symbol or the county name in Irish though .
