I know in Vic if you see a car that is unreg (for a certain amount of time, I would think 2 years) but has plates that you like you can apply to get those plates for your car.
I met a bloke that did it for his EK, mind you they were not a custom plate they were an original early plate.

i think they have to be returned to the RTA before they can be reissued, i have plates that have been off a car waaaaay longer than 5 years and are still unavailable
sometimes yor just better off shitting in yor hands and clapping
The bloke that I met said he bought the car (EK sedan) unreged, wanted to have plates that looked ye olde times, so he found a pic of a car and applied for the exact plates and got them.
