25v6turbo Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Is there anyone i can contact ref if a plate is transferable or not??,a friend has a car i,ve been after for ages,but rumour has it its got a plate worth a lot,but he won,t sell me the car as he is waiting for the plate etc to be valued,BUT i think he knows its not transferable and basically its worthless as the car is worth under a grand,who can i contact??

Ross_K Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Have a look at the V5. If a number is non-transferable it'll say so below the registration number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hertz Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Doesn't the car need to be taxed and therefore MOT'd to transfer the plate as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
155V6 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 It has to be MOT'd,not sure about the tax though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel bickle Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Needs to be V5c'd and NO mention of non transferability on the front sheetYes- it also needs to be taxed,MOT'd (-although it can be up to 6 months max out of tax if there is a VERY good reason -ie wont pass another!) Thereafter its lost....till the car acquires another ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
25v6turbo Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share Posted July 7, 2008 The car is taxed and moted but its spent a long time of road,so i was wondering if it lost the transfer thingy that happened in the 1980??Its not my car so i don,t have the V5 but he has been told the plate is worth 7k,he paid a few hundred for the car!

Twiggy Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Why not call one of the number plate dealers and ask for a valuation on the plate. They can be a bit funny if you don`t own the vehicle, but I`ve done it twice, and got an estimate. They`re a lot more amenable if they think that you own the vehicle and they`ll get the job of selling the reg and collecting the commission.
