Mike D Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I can't see why a numberplate can be made non transferrable, what is the point?! That minor has been around the bay forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad D. Conelrad Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I can't see why a numberplate can be made non transferrable, what is the point?!Well, I find it amusing that such a valuable plate is stuck on a humble Morris Minor rather than adorning Ian Q. Millionaire's Gallardo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Station Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Isn't that like having a vin plate that resembled a name? You're buying a plate that you can't really use, as in 'I've got something to prove by putting this plate on my 2003 Audi, I'm loaded'. That's never going to sell.

morris_ital_lover Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I wouldn't be quite that pessimistic, afterall, if there is nucleur apolcalypse and the only survivors are a bunch on millionarires called ian who want a personalised number plate and love minors.... actually, yeah, it won't sell! m0rris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete-M Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 As the plate is welded to that Minor, I'd say he's at least 10x over the odds. If the plate was transferable it'd probably be £150k. It's not, so it's worth maybe an extra £1000 to a Moggie Minor perv called Ian. I'd like to know why it's non-tranferable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Bluejeans Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I'd like to know why it's non-tranferable.It will have been re-issued by DVLA in the '90's after being stored for years and not updated from the green logbook to a V5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messerschmitt owner Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I'd like to know why it's non-tranferable.It will have been re-issued by DVLA in the '90's after being stored for years and not updated from the green logbook to a V5.my messerschmitt is exactly like that - number re-issued 1993, not on computer so now non transferable. Do I mind? Not at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 If I was a millionaire, I'd buy that and have some serious fun customising the living daylights out of it. Obviously a V8 engine would be involved somewhere, and some actual brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owain-328i Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Give the DVLA enough money and they'l transfer that plate onto anything you want, after all it is a Goverment run organisation, and nothing talks better to them than £££ keerching!!!! Interestingly my bmw's original plate is non - transferable, its only a 95 N, any ideas why that would be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete-M Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Interestingly my bmw's original plate is non - transferable, its only a 95 N, any ideas why that would be?It's probably had a private plate in the past. When cars revert to their original plate they tend to become non-tranferable. As for "95N" I know the chap who has that very plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete-M Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 95N, thats gota be worth a few quid aswellAfter the DVLA accidentally gave his previous plate to someone else, they gave him 95N as a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vin Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 1 AN may have once been on a mayoral car. As AN is Reading, possibly there. When I lived in Stoke the Mayor's car reg there was '1 EH' . EH being the Stoke ID. Could be skint councils selling off numbers in the past. I'm only making assumptions about this though. EDIT. Just googled and found thishttp://www.theargus.co.uk/news/8134617. ... __150_000/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
