I'm sure that there are rules to follow on this and someone more knowledgeable than me will explain. I must say that I disapprove of the practice. My 1961 saloon was stripped of its original reg, FD ****, by a finance director and now sits inelegantly on his AMG Merc.
The reg plate was more valuable than the car!

Hubert you can sell the original pre 1963 registration and you have an age related one in exchange .The car is usually inspected and must have a certificate of roadworthiness mot .Anything past 1963 is not really worth anything but pre 1963 joe 1 worth around £40,000 .Companies advertise your number plate on a commission basis usually with a high price which is never achieved and want you to accept a meagre fee.

The rules and regulations are covered / policed by the DVLA https://www.gov.uk/personalised-vehicle ... s/overview in the UK. DVLA is Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency ( and executive agency of the Department for Transport ). The market dictates the price , the fewer the numbers / letter combination the higher the price as a general rule. The other
basic rule is that you can't put a later number to try and make someone believe that a car is "newer " than it is in reality.

Gruß dich Hubert,

it is of course, for us more difficult to completely personnalise our number plates as the "Landeskreis" prefix is fixed. I ask myself whether Declan burns in this Forum deliberately chose to live in Düsseldorf so he could use "D-EC xxxx" on his cars? I am hoping to be able to re-reg my '69 traveller soon with "xx M-1000H" , which may be quite unique.

A.N

All registration numbers allocated to motor vehicles in the UK are the property of the DVLA but they allow the buying and selling of registration numbers, in fact the DVLA have a list of numbers that are available to buy, there are companies that also buy and sell these numbers some at eye watering prices. Anyone can have a personalised number for their vehicle as long as it is not newer than the vehicle it is on. If a vehicle has gone through the V765 scheme or has been allocated an age related number the V5c will be endorsed with the words not transferable. The V765 scheme was introduced in 1983 to reissue the original registration numbers to vehicles which were not on the DVLAs computer but documentary evidence was required i.e. the old style log book, MOT certificates, and other documents that stated the chassis or VIN number. They did at one time accept old tax discs pre 1983 but this has now stopped because it was being abused and the disc did not show the VIN number. Age related numbers were issued by the DVLA to vehicles that did not have documentary evidence of the original number even if the number was known. The vehicle was inspected by the relevent club and a report submitted to the DVLA, with luck a V5c was then issued to that vehicle. The FBHVC and the old car movement asked the DVLA to endorse the V5cs with not transferable for vehicles that had gone through both these schemes to stop historic vehicles being robbed of their numbers which was part of that vehicles history.
