Ignition hole in the rear beside the seat gives it away.
That'll be why you can't use the black & silver plate
Vehicles manufactured before 1st January 1973 can legally use black & white/silver number plates.
Note manufactured not registered.
If the scooter is registered in 1971 the assumption is that it must have been manufactured before being registered.
In this instance the registered date may be incorrect but if the documentation states that then technically black & white plates can be used.
I have an MG that was registered in June 1973, but I have a dating certificate stating that it was manufactured in Sept 1972.
Can legally use black & white plates & free tax.
