Why is the plate so big?
Why is the plate so big?
I'm thinking it's because this plate was made for this car to fit the shape.

I did some research and apparently the DVLA facilitate that by not specifying any shape requirement. You can have any shape you like under current rules as long as you conform to the rules on displaying the registration and have the correct margins.

This is correct. British manufacturers actually had plates shaped like this directly from the dealer. Almost all MGs, Rovers etc. had plates like this originally

Some cars are still like this, take the land rover discovery 3 and 4, they had square plates, because the designated place for the plate was a smaller square. The 75 and ZT + ZT-T and 75 Tourer variants, space would be where that was, and sometimes the design is better when it fills the entire spot and isn't just a rectangle. That's probably the easiest and/or best way to describe it.

Regarding this, MG Rover Group do not make them still as they collapsed in 2005 following Rover's Bankruptcy at the same time. The newer Chinese MG models may, but I am not that much of an enthusiast to really know if they use plates like that on the newer models. A Few other brands still have plates like these but I can't name them off the top of my head.

Absolutely, although there aren't many of these British manufacturers left lol

Utter shame too. We lost our entire industry by the 90s following the bloody strikes of British Leyland, and closure of several brands such as Austin and Morris (and much more for that sake too), and then me we lost MG and Rover by 2005, which was our entire industry gone now.
