Hi Chaps,

Looking at a potential purchase, advertised as having a private plate that will 'come with the car'. Is there any reason why the dealer can't return it to its original registration number prior to sale? Is it relatively straightforward to do this myself post-purchase - even though I'm not the original 'owner' of the plate?

Sorry for the late response, it's been a busy day!

Let me guess, it's one of those ugly 'current style' personal plates (e.g. AB12CDE) but is of course older than the actual car and/or says something stupid with the last three characters.
Absolutely 100% spot onbiggrin Comes with the full house of dodgy letter spacing and 'stategically-placed' fixing screws!

Not worth 8p, let alone £80....

The correct plate would be a '59' (not that it makes that much difference)
