Both cars need to be taxed, insured and MOT'd. Easy enough to do, just a case of the registered keeper of the car with the plate on filling in some forms and getting the plate put on retention, and then you transferring the plate onto your car. I don't think it can be transferred from one car to another without going on retention first, it's just a paperwork exercise and a bit longwinded but isn't difficult to do.

It can be taken from and put on a car that's SORNd. Just done it myself

Clare

It can go straight from one car to another, will cost 80 quid.

Doner car needs to be Taxd/SORNd within the last 6 months with current MOT. Recieving car needs to have current TAX/SORN & MOT.

To put the plate on retention first will cost you 105 quid and the Registered Keeper just needs to fill out a form (V778/1 I think) and put you down as the Nominee, unless YOU are the Registered Keeper of the Doner car then you automatically go down as the Grantee.

Up for how was asking about Transering a plate

Nath

I think Clares told you most of how it works and your car will need to have a valid MOT when the marque goes on there.

If you get stuck then try this site http://www.dvla.gov.uk/vehicles.aspx
