ellis Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 If yours is the one it was registered with, you can't sell it. If it's a private plate you can. When you buy a new plate you have to pay to have it transferred to your vehicle - about £80 from memory at the DVLA office. Its really easy. Most plate companies send you the paperwork, you fill in a form at the DVLA (take your tax disc, MoT and V5 in) and they sort it all out there and then. Dead easy.

kslb Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 So what is the plate? If you post it on the for sale thread you might get some interest however I would buy the new one first and put yours on retention and sell from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
