cherished number plates

This is a slightly unusual situation.

I am thinking about buying a car which has a cherished number plate attached to it and the vendor will be transferring it with the sale. Can I sell the plate and re register it with a normal plate?

You can sell it (if it's goat any value) & the car will then have it's original number returned for you to use.

thanks vansboy. The strange thing is, I've seen the original warranty book and , even though the cars 10 years old, it shows the cherished number plate as the original!

That is possible. You can have the car registered directly onto the cherished plate when new. The DVLA will just allocate a new one (of appropriate age, obviously) when you transfer the cherished one off.
