when you buy one.. whats the procedure if you want to sell it..? I assume the DVLA don't by them back, so would you have to sell privately?

lastly, whats Cfosters details, as I need to sen him some cash, but he hasnt replied to my PM's..

 

you sell it, just send a form with the other persons logbook as the owner of the car will be classed as the person whos allowed to show the plate, YOU WILL NEVER OWN THE THAT PLATE just the permission to show it

meaning DVLA could pull it at any time and theres fuck all you can do about it

 

cheers Ginge.

and if you don't want to use it, you pay 80 quid a year yeah? thats what I have been told.

 

If you hold the plate on retention its Ł25 a year

thanks Charlie.. thats not so bad..

Now, who makes them? need one fairly sharpish.

 

erm

www.dvla-som.gov uk i think

 

actually is www.dvla-som.co.uk

 

right, couple of questions (would call them but they are shut)

I have received the document (v750 I think).. I now need to take this to my local dvla office (half hours drive lol)... Im busy, so can can a mate do it for me, or does it have to be me?

Secondly, I have log book, tax disc expiry date, and MOT? is this ALL you need? as I dont want him to get there, only to be told, no you need this and that etc...

Lastly, my tax disk will have old number plate on? will they re-issue me one?.. and will I be able to put the plates on straight away??

thanks, but all this is confusing

 

ived just got off the phone asking the same question mate about 5 mins ago! i asked the same as i want to put one of my plates on my car!

She said ring up between 8:15-4:30 ask for sales and marques department and they can transfer it over the phone!

 

the form v750 has arrived today so why does it say i need to go to my local dvla office?

will make life loads easier if its just a case of doing it over the phone. nice one mate

 

yeah think that's all you need
i though you had to go to the office, i wouldn't have bothered if you could do it over the phone!
they'll issue you a new tax disc, + print a new mot with the new vehicle details on then you'll have to change your plates over ( i did mine in the car park with pre drilled plates! )
make sure you let you'r insurance know you've changed the plates on the car too

 

cheers mate.

good point about insurance as i hadnt thought of that. once i go to the office can i then put the new plates on or do i have to wait for the revised tax disc and mot

thanks

 

when i got mine done ( new car ) i needed to get it taxed too, so gave them all the docs with the old plates still on the car, got a new tax disc and they printed out a revised mot cert then they send out the new v5 in the post. She said you have to put the new plates on straight away, but can't imagine it will matter that much!
i phoned the insurance before i went and told them i'd transfered the plate and asked for them to email me a cover note, took the cover note with old and new plate just in case

 

cheers mate

hopefully i will be able to whack them on that evening then.

 

where did you get the plate from in the end then? fancy sharing what it is?

 

got it from dvla

its my surname mate followed by my initial

 

Been paying this for the last five years on myne! My car is never on the road/no tax so i cant assign it... DOH!

 

Ł80 to transfer plate from car to car ...Ł25 extra to put it on retention certificateif you dont put plate on car in 12 months its another Ł25 per year to extend .....bastards ...beware if you have a car 20 -25 years old sometimes the dvla will want to inspect the car ..before tranfer of plate,,can be a pain ive had this done to me a few times

 

I am in the process of selling the private number off my RS as it belonged to the guy who owned it before me.

I have found all the info I needed from here.

If you take in your current tax disc they should just replace it with the new registration number on it.

Well thats what they did when I got my private plate (unfortunately that had to go in the missus car as it can't go on my RS)

 

How come?

 

When you get issued with the documents at the DVLA office so you can get the new number plates done, at the time they issue those they give you a new tax disc (to the same end date of your original one) only it has your new number printed on it.

 

if you'r asking why it couldn't go on the car, im guessing its cos the plate's too new for the car, ie R plate on a Mreg car.
Can't make a car look newer than it is
