Three Speed Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 No photo but I saw CSK209 on 2012 C-Max today. So what? My Traction Avant was allocated CSK318 when it was imported in 1985 and I understood that series was strictly for age related use and non-transferable to modern motors. Is this not so?

Is this not so? suffix-less age related plates issued to new registrations (ie not replacing an existing registration mark on an already registered vehicle) where transferable for a time, but today they are non transferable as you say im not sure when they made new registration, suffix-less plates non transferable as well, but it is how quite a few age related plates ended up as private plates I THINK even age related replacement suffixes plates where transferable for a short while but people where abusing that so they quickly got made non transferable, but as above new registrations remained transferable for a while longer before also being made non transferable Three Speed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymous user Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Today I saw a James Bond wannabe, OHMSSS (really OHM55S) on a modern Aston Martin, I would have called the colour a sludgy, brownish, gold, but DVLA says it's green (and SORN) He must have been on an urgent secret mission to Tesco and Q branch forgot to tax it.

Andrew353w Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I don't know if this qualifies as a great number plate, but it's a coincidence of staggering weirdness.... My first Skoda, a 1992 Favorit 136LS, was bought new from my local Skoda dealer, Welham Green Cars, except it wasn't quite new. Although it had only 12 miles on the clock when I picked it up, the dealer explained that, as they'd sold so many new cars in the last few months, Skoda gave them a number of cars for them to sell for what they could get for them & my Skoda was one of these cars. £4995.00 for an effectively brand-new car suited me at the time. The only "catch" was that the car was pre-registered by Skoda themselves, at their King's Lynn distribution centre, so it bore a Norfolk registration number, J 284 EVG. Now, here's the weird bit.... in the early 1990s I was moon-lighting for a driving agency, taking any work I was offered and one job was to collect a new Lada Niva estate from one dealer & deliver it to another one quite some distance away. The Lada Niva, again a pre-registered car, bore the number J284 BVG. This is one I'll never forget & I will remember this as one of the weirdest co-incidences I've ever come across! greengartside, Rusty_Rocket and LightBulbFun 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could put that on anything post-1965 so almost anything in the collection, but which one would you choose? It's not on a vehicle and has probably never been issued.

skoda_fan Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 The DVLA plate selling site is a surefire time waster and far cheaper than commercial sites. I've actually bought a couple of their cheaper plates after a couple of sherbets and never actually transferred them onto anything. Good thing is you can retain them up to ten years for future use.

mitsisigma01 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 If I was to purchase a private plate on retention off an ebay seller, what would be the cost of transferring it to one of my vehicles and what should I be aware of with the seller, I have seen a dvla retention form in his name....

Mudster Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Cost would be a new pair of numberplate. Then £80 (or whatever fee it may have gone up to at the time) to remove it when you dispose of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
