afraid not,

if its a Q plate it has to stay on a Q.
There was some rumours of personalised Q plates, but they didn't get round to it as they didn't think enough people would buy them!

edit: here's some more info http://www.plates4less.co.uk/plates/...VLA-prefix.asp

As said, its not possible, unless theres some loop hole im not aware of.

If it were possible, id be buying all the Q plates and putting private reg's on to make a killing!

Also, generally speaking, Q plates are on a Q because they cant determine the true age of the vehicle so you wont know what age/prefix private plate you were allowed to put on, one of the reasons why its not possible.

As said you cant get it of but i have had some nice Q plate cars and never had a problem selling them but what you have to remember it will only be worth 75% of a normal plate car
