If the car is of historical interest it can still be re registered with DVLA even if it was part of the scrappage scheme. It would need to be 40+ years old to comply though.

My old Landrover was tax exempt on a T plate, I had to get the proof from the Landrover records at Gaydon.

A plate doesn't always mean that a vehicle was made in the year that the plate would indicate.

Lawrence's Landy would have been displaying a military plate for the first few years it was on the road.

Correct Ref.
The log sheet I originally had gave the civilian reg (T plate) and the year of manufacture the same but the vehicles ID number on the log sheet didn't tally up with that date, the vehicles ID number on the log sheet tallied up with the ID number on the vehicles ID plate which was attached to the side of the seat base, and it also tallied up with the vehicles ID number which is stamped on the inside of the front dumb iron, knowing a bit about Landrovers I knew the vehicles ID number was for a military Landrover (the Landrover was a Lightweight aka Air Portable) I also knew that the vehicles ID number pertained to a Lightweight Landrover and more specifically to a Series III, I could also tell by the number that is was an early production Series III Lightweight, I also knew when they came into production, the ID number was close to the date needed for tax exempt, too close so I needed definite proof, hence the records from Gaydon which I sent for, from then on DVLA were convinced having sent them the proof from Gaydon.

The rules are simple....... A later year plate cannot be used on an earlier vehicle, I registered a 1960 2CV and it landed up with HSU24A as six digit plates are not released. So it should have been issued with a plate that tallied with its first military registration or an "A" plate...... Someone messed up!

A 2CV on a military plate.
Surely would that not have been one of these? https://www.google.com/search?q=2cv+jeep&client=firefox-b&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj0h4zgvpXcAhXHccAKHeKnDjsQ7AkIOQ&biw=1001&bih=584#imgrc=qNJunW83U-b7nM:
The Landrover was ex military, manufactured circa 1972, it was manufactured for the military, while with the military it did not have a civilian reg number, the civilian reg number came after it was released from the military, definitely a military vehicle (Air Portable Landrover Series 3) and definitely an Air Portable VIN (Series 3) on the V5 document, the VIN on the V5 document was the same as the VIN on the vehicles ID plate that was fixed to the side of the seat base and that was the same number that was stamped on the inside of one of the front dumb irons, I owned and ran the vehicle for approx 20 years, it was LHD when I got it but it left the Landover factory as RHD.
I once owned and ran another ex military Landrover, an 88" Series 1, that one had a Q plate. Lawrence.
