Yes. And the plate needs to be transferable as some aren't. A famous case is that of '1 AN' which resides on a Morris Minor and always will.
OK.For those that can be transferred, what if you get a sh!tter with a great plate MOT'd by a friendly tester who will accept you will scrap the donor once the plate is yours?
How can certain plates not be transferable?
2). If the plate was allocated after the original was transferred off. This prevents you getting an old car and just continually selling each dateless number allocated to it.
Most garages won't do a dodgy MOT as they are liable to a spot checks. The DVLA are hot on cars with nice plates suddenly coming back to life and it will be flagged on their computer system.

In this case, the plate and car were together when the records were computerised, so no issues if someone wants to undertake the renovation.

This one is well know in Triumph Circles, the car has a bit of a story behind it too
Top Spot, Jonsey! Still showing as on this car. Not sure how many people would want the plate; a 1 x 3 would normally make the car worth restoring just to transfer, but in this case I'm not too sure...pincher said:
