In Belgium for cars that are more than 25 years old it is similar to Spain & Germany: you can get a special plate (starting by O, like "old-timer", followed by 2 other letters then 3 numbers)
Then you pay nearly nothing as taxes and the technical check ("contrôle technique") is much easier to pass (you only have to prove that the car is able to stop by itself with any braking system and few easy things like that), but you can only drive by day (not night), not more than 25km away from home except if you go to a special meeting of cars, and you cannot use it as daily-driver.
Other solution is to keep a normal registration but having a reduced insurance if it is not your main car or if you do not drive it a lot. But then you still pay maximal taxes.
If you wish an old-style plate it is possible: for a little more than 800 € you can get a 5-digit plate, like what cars had between 1951 and 1973 (older plates do not exist anymore). But the plate is not exactly the same as the old one: it is produced like the current 6-digit plates (size, font, color, etc.), but this is not very noticeable.
