Another one for sale

Does that mean that whoever buys your car Peter will have to re-register it and it will be on a 2010 plate? Really don't know the complexities of this process.

No, the car is registered back onto it's original plate? I think Peter is saying he doesn't tangibly/physically have the original plates. These can be bought quite cheaply I'd have thought - just make sure you choose a legal font 'an all that!

As for the private plate. I'm waiting to get the TVR on monday then unfortunately i have to wait for the V5 to turn up before i can transfer my private reg from the ZT to the TVR.

You may want to look into this further, I had the same issues when I bought mine, I had a personal plate on the van and wanted it on the 260.
I though that if you paid to put it on retention, you then had to pay again to transfer it.
But this is not the case, A rentention is slightly more expensive but includes the cost of transferring it to a new vehicle.

Hope this helps

Yep the difference is £25 between retention and straight transfer

Peter just get it done another month and with winter is approaching
the car might be worth even less

Delay could cost you a a monkey or even a grand!

You don't need to wait for the V5 to turn up. You simply use the new keeper slip with a filled out V62 ('application for a vehicle registration certificate V5C'). I did this last week to get a personal plate onto my car. I went to the local DVLA office and had the plate on the car (legally!) later that morning.

More details here.

Would defo need the big rear number plate - I love those. I wonder if the car will go back onto it's original number and the original plates are in Petes garage ?. I should ask him really rather than ramble on here !

You can get the full size plates made up at Halfords. They do a special "Rover 75" plate. I considered this, but decided against it, since I wanted the blue "GB" plate (to avoid having to put a GB sticker on when I go abroad).
