I'm considering selling my registration as I've been asked by a few people for it. Something about Liverpool FC. But I was wondering how I go about selling my plates and then putting a new reg on my car. anyinfo appreciated.

you can apply to dvla for the std plates back on.....

buy another plate you want and put that on then sell the old plate to joe bloggs...

easy peasy but takes time... you get a form from dvla, to put the reg on retention, you pay them £125 i believe it is, after about 6 weeks they issue your car with new age related plates, you can then sell the old plate on retention but the transfer to the new owner then takes 6 weeks.
im an expert ive done this about 10 times now...lol

Ive got my plate on retention and want to put it on my mini,the guy who sold me it said it was an "intresting plate".I really dont give 2 hoots,do you think its any good,i think its ok if ya called keith hall,kerry hambling etc. its K151TKH KI5 IT KH,hah its pants int it. but as ive got my own one to go on i wondered is it worth doing owt with this one.

Coming from Liverpool, I'd say you're wrong here.

I know someone from my last place of work who had just spent £2000 on an LFC plate for himself for Christmas.

IMO, number plates are not worth the metal/plastic they are printed on.... only if someone actually offers you real money for it, is it worth anything....

i had one which was 'FRT' which i sold for £1950. i used a company who handled every thing for me and sent me the cheque for the £1950 :)
but who on earth would pay that sort of money for that number plate still baffles me!!!! but hey i got some money so who cares!

I think they inspect any vehicle over 15 years old now if you wish to transfer a plate off it.
Something to do with people transfering plates of vehicles that no longer existed i.e only the paperwork is left.
