Sorry , but I am not trying to be pedantic truly . But the term 'age related' as used for years by DVLA has referred to plates assigned to older vehicles , which have had their original marks reassigned , and which require marks appropriate to their age assigned retrospectively .
This is NOT the same as a new vehicle being assigned a current registration mark at the time of first registration - it is an entirely different thing .
If you decided to cash in on the original registration mark of your Hillman Imp , you would be assigned an age related plate , which might not carry a year identifier , but would be appropriate to the age of the car , but which would also be non transferrable . An age related plate is not just any plate which carries a year identifier ; although there are rules about not applying any plate making a car appear younger than it is .
a new car is issued an age related (to use your definition)
if you transfer a VEM off a vehicle, DVLA issue a replacement specific to the ageof the car.
If your Hillman was on a G plate, and you transferred that VRM to either retention or another vehicle, DVLA will issue a replacement G VRM. - not an undated VRM. That replacement G mark cannot then be used on another vehicle
subsequently
the correct term for VRM for pre 63 vehicles is undated not age related - by definition they have no age ( and can be used on a vehicle of any age.)
