    Have a look at this https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2001/561/contents
    If I have read it correctly all cars built after 1903 and registered in the UK need to have a front licence plate fitted.

    I stand corrected!
    Seems the legislation was changed around 2001.
    I obviously didn't get the memo, officer!


    (Thanks Robin)

    Interesting, the Arial Atom here doesn't have a front numberplate, either: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjBYNQUiels
    I think the front numberplate detracts from the purity of a beautiful shape (the atom isn't!) like the Stratos.

    Most Atom owners carry the front number plate sticker in the "boot", just in case they get a tug from the Old Bill. But, according to the law, that's not right. You are left to the whims of the police officer as to whether you'll get fined etc.

    You find that certain police forces are hotter on this than in others. Places like Cheshire, for instance, are v hot on it. Many others, in the SE, are otherwise. 9 times out of 10, when you get pulled, they just want to have a chat with you. Ask if you know The Stig, etc etc.

    I'd disagree that the Atom isn't beautiful. But then I would I spose.

    Cheers,
    Hedge
