selling an irish numberplate

baron777red

i have just bought a car with a reg PKZ 9696 and believe it to be irish, i am hoping to seel this to someone as a private plate.

if i do, will i just need to inform the DVLA that ive sold it and then will they issue me a new UK plate according to the age of the car.

where is the best place to sell my plate?

thanks

Northern Ireland plate so British not Irish.;)

Can't see why anyone would want to by that tbh.

probably worth about £75, if you can find a buyer called with the initials 'PKZ', not worth the hassel really it could take years to sell

Need to find a Pole who wants a private plate then.

But the people that live there are British citizens... whether they like it or not. How does that work?

Do you already have a buyer that specifically wants that number?

If not, don't bother.

Do you know something we all dont then because thats not what the Good Friday Agreement,the British and Irish governments, and my passport say?

OP, in answer to your question - thre are sites that will buy registration plates but you can just drive the car with its existing number plate if you wish.
