pablodow's Review of DVLA Personalised Number Plates www.dvlaregistrations.co.uk

I have a Peugeot 205GR which I bought new in 1985 and when I saw a Ford Cortina with the number plate TTT 205X I thought it would be great for my 205. I bought the old banger and kept it until I could organise the transfer. Unfortunately I had gone through a couple of other bangers in the meantime. Consequently, about 5 years after, I decided to go ahead with the transfer only to find that the Cortina would not only have to be roadworthy, but also with an MOT, and insurance. I was horribly disappointed.

Why on earth would someone run a car into the ground, then wanting to keep the registration plate, be denied the possibility simply because the car has to be scrapped? It would seem that this law exists only for the filthy rich who could afford to change their car every 3 years and transfer the number plate whilst the car is still in their possession. This world is sad.

    I've tranferred registrations onto 3 family cars recently. I had practically no problem with the DVLA who charged £80 per vehicle to do the business. They managed to lose the insurance cetificate for one of the vehicles but that was quickly sorted.

    Overall, it wasn't an unpleasant experience and was handled reasonably efficiently. I'll certainly do it again.

    The comment was really aimed at the law which allows number plates to be traded but not one from a car being scrapped. Strange. It doesn't deter me from transferring in the future, just that I would THEN know that the cars must both be "on the road".
    Grateful for your valued comment on DVLA though.
