Reverting to an original number plate

[JButler]

I purchased my Mk1 Golf with a personalised plate on the car and am wanting to revert back to its original registration. Can anyone tell me what is involved in the process and whether it should cost me anything? I don't particularly have any interest in retaining the private plate if it costs me less in the long run. Thanks in advance.

Not much wrong with it, I would just prefer the car with its original plate. I don't really fancy the hassle of trying to sell it, can't imagine anyone would want it that much anyway as its nothing special.

Yeah I have evidence of the old plate in the history and a photo of the plate on the car in a magazine.
