    I came across an old vertical 'fore and aft' type front number plate in one
    of the boxes in the garage and thought about using it on the bantam. I
    vaguely remember something about them being withdrawn from use in the 70s
    but are the actually illegal? I have seen a few of them about recently.

    I don't think they are illegal. I don't think the 1975 legisalation banned
    them - just said they were no longer compulsory.
