Amazed at the black number plate on the Avenger, someone was a skinflint 

Wasn’t it mainly 73 L that the later yellow/white plates really took off?

No; that's when they were made a legal requirement for new cars.  They'd been an option for about six years, and a very popular one too, used as an aftermarket upgrade on many older cars.  Or in my dad's case, on his 1967 Cortina mere months after he bought it new.  By the time J-suffix arrived in 1970 having black plates marked you as a Scrooge, fifth dan.  Or a major corporate client such as Royal Mail.
