Selling a private plate

[Bellend]

I know it's been asked before!

Just bought my nan a new motor (Suzuki Wagon, because it's tall  ).

Anyway, getting rid of the Polo, MOT runs out Saturday and it will be slung on eBay or scrapped. But I want to sell the private plate.

How do I do it all and what do I need to do to keep it and scrap the car?

Cheers.

I think all you need to do is put it on retention, you can then advertise the number, and state that its on retention... I think!   
 I've had plenty of dealings with cherished plates, but never in this scenario

Whats the number?

Ah, probs not worth the hassle. R4JTO RAJ.

Valued by some company some time ago at £850 but if I got £400 it's £400!

Stick it on ebay and see how you do. Those companies value it super hi so people think it is worth paying £5 a week to advertise it on their site I'm sure of it!! Jokersss!

gotta be mot'd at time for transfer,  - transfers cant be done online.

so unless you geta very fast office, it wont be done in time 

I go to dvla a lot to re-register cars, transfer plates and change tax classifications for work motors

not for long if they close Reading branch mind 

you need a V317.

further, is the number in your name ?  the grantee as its known.

if not, then that needs sorting, 

 just cos it is on your car, doesnt mean its your number
