Keeping Your Licence Plates?

Iand1

As far as I am aware, unless it says non transferable at the bottom, you can take the plate off.

If the log book says non transferable, this doesnt stop a private/vanity reg being put on it though.

Interesting. I have a car with an age related plate that I assumed was non transferable but it doesn't have anything like that on the V5 at all.

Normally the original reg number is transferable but the replacement number, which will be similar, will be non transferable.

Gotta be said when I crashed our Cat C car and it looked touch and go I kept the old number plates. They're still in the shed now! Dunno why it just seems right to keep a part of the car doesn't it!

I did feel really silly to begin with, but I've just grown so attached to it as my first car, I think it indeed just seem right I'm glad I'm not alone in this thought haha!

It's actually it's third number. The original was sold long before I acquired the car and it was given an 'A' suffix plate which I didn't like very much. I was walking past a DVLA office one luchtime and popped in on the off chance to see what I could do about it. They told me to bring in the V5, tax disc, and MoT the following day. I did and they gave me a new no suffix/prefix number there and then. Free, gratis and for nothing... and it wasn't one of those naff Scottish WSU *** plates either
