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

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.
