Show Plates
A Show plate is a car plate that’s just for show. These plates may use non standard spacing or fonts. Overall, they do not adhere to the guidelines at the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency and therefore cannot be used for driving on UK roads.
Many people use them for non-road cars, such as classic vehicles that stay inside a garage or showroom; as long as you don’t take them out on the road as a substitute for number plates.
