Transferring a No Plate - mark one
Recently bought a personalised no plate however I want to take the car it is on off road, the tax expires at the end of this month the MOT in July 09

I understand in order to transfer a no plate the car needs to be taxed and have MOT although the instructions say the DVLA will consider applications for transferring up to 12 months after the road tax expired

So my question is if I do not transfer the plate now and decide to sell the car what are the possibilities of transferring the plate to my other car once the tax expires at a later date

Anyone know, please help if you can

Wouldn't it be easier to just put the plate on retention until you want to put it on another car? I think it's £25 for a year.
