How to keep my private plate?
#1
Sadly my days of superb motoring are coming to an end. First the company scooby went and now my MGF. The advertisement has been placed but how do I keep my private plate and how long does it take to change? Can I change it on the day of sale ?

You need to place the plate in retention get the docs from ya local post office - I suggest you get it done ASAP then get the DVLA to assign a new plate to your current car.
It can be done on the day - but you need to visit a local DVLA office (be prepared to wait in a Q)
Should cost you approx £125 (inc transfere fee)

Thanks for the info.
Yes, my local office - Wimbledon had queue about a mile long. Luckily it can be done at the local office, as I've already placed my advetisment. No way could I sell a car without the log book. I suppose I'll have to be cheeky and do it all in one got once I have a deposit from the buyer.
Safe motoring,
Alan

A bit off track this one, but i read that if you write off the car, your splendid reg plate becomes property of the insurers- and that you have to then buy it back off them!!!
You can get insurance against this happening.
So any 1979 Skoda shed owners with a reg "911 RS" or the like sould consider that!!
Is this true?

Dont forget that the retention certificate is only for a year, you will not be informed when the 12 months are up and if you do not request an extension( £25 )before the 12 months are up you will loose the plate.
