IIRC I heard years ago that you cannot transfer a plate that has been on a bike to a car, and vice versa - but I'm ready to be proved wrong !

Some plates are non transferable, but bike to car and vice versa can be done, dad did NOI 6893 from his honda bike to his car, was few years ago now mind.

Can't remember the exact rules, but you can do most things, but transfers from tractors and milk floats can't be done (Or I could have dreamt that!)

Oh ok Chop, I was fairly sure at some stage it wasn't possible. If it is now then good - can't see why it was ever an issue.
