number plate has to go!

since iv bought the car iv had the number plate M400AFC and it drives me mad, everyone thinks im an arsnal fan, dont get me wrong their ok, but im not 2 keen on footy really. i want to get shot of it at some point, sooner then later, but A. not sure how to sort the paper work and B. have to find an arsnal fan. any help or any takers?

How much you looking for it?

Are you an arsenal fan?

Why do you have to find an Arsenal fan?

Just buy a private plate, and go to DVLA office, job done!

thing is i dont want a private plate really. just finding someone who might be interested. a number plate company on ebay sold one recently (only diffence was the 3 numbers for 650. im after about 500 including all the paper work transfers or whatever costs ect.

So you just want to sell it?

Wont that put your car onto a Q plate?

i dont know will it. i thought you could apply for a number plate which is just a normal one, none private through the dvla, but as i say i havnt a clue. thats why im asking on here. wanna sell it and go to a normal plate. if anyone did want it and had a plate which was m reg or older could i not just transfer theirs onto mine. as i say though not sure on any of it.

I know someone selling L 500P cheap

Would look awesome on your car

Get it put on retention, they will issue you a new one, then sell it.

Remember Aberdeen Football Club as well, might widen your market a little. It does sound like you are trying to make money though not just relieve yourself of the burden of the plate, as already stated the easiest and quickest way is to get a cheap private plate that looks fairly normal and then dvla will do all the paper work etc and its so easy to do on line.

If all you are doing is trying to sell the plate then post it in the for sale section and no your car would not go onto a Q plate you would just get another year specific number.

thanks for that. how many other AFC are there then, gotta be a couple more. dont get me wrong getting some money back from it would be nice. though i would be happy to trade for a private plate which would suite either me or the car. wouldnt call it a burden just its a way to get some money back, hands up to that and loose all the comment abouts arenal. ill contact dvla shortly and post this for sale on the sale section. cheers again.

just got a message from Registration Transfers Ltd and they are offering me 400, which means they can pro sell it for more and make a ton out of it. in which case id sell it for around the 400 mark give or take on the transfer fee of a new plate.

This plate(M400AFC) did the DVLA issue this to the vehicle?. As I think it may well be non-transferable.

pass it was on the car when i bought it. any idea how i can find out?

It will say on the V5 if the mark is transferable or not.

I've had a look at my V5 and cant see any info about my plate , I bought the car with L 500P on it and would like to change to my own personal plate - i was planning on selling L500P but now i'm wondering if its not transferable - any other way to tell ?

Thanks .

Are you still trying to sell that chris:p

Funny you think that mate;)

im guessing your and my plate are transferable as i dont think the number plate company who said they would give me 400 quid for it would had offered me it if it couldnt be transferable. ill have to check when i get round to it.

chris iv sent you a pm, would be really interested in it. let us know some time.

As my nickname's Pot (You may have guessed that... lol) - A few years ago I bought J888POT as a plate (For a J-Reg Calibra) for £250 (Transfers included) (From the DVLA) - If you have a nickname or whatever that you could fit into that sort of format, how about asking the company that made the offer to get what you have now for a plate that's 'cheap', and you'd like?...

i cant see how you can put fruity into a plate apart from fru17y which would cost a small fortune.

If you aint got 1 of the cherished transfer certifcates and there are Special notes on the front page of V5C section 3 the plate is just a normal plate....

Is your car a 1994 import supra?...M reg...

Sounds like its just a plate.....a company may offer cash but I think they will presume its Cherished number with All the certificates present....

See images;

yea mine is a m reg import and i dont think i have that first bit of paper. ill check later. i dont really want to pay out for a new plate if i cant sel mine due to the whole non transfer thing. means ill be stuck with it.

You can put a new plate on it...just the one thats on it aint worth sh#t...just a combination of letters
