Removing number plate

Right I have just had word that my Tiger Avon is a total write off Cat B. I have bought it back because there is some good parts on it. I would like the plate off it, but was wondering if this is possible. It is still taxed which I need to get off it aswell.

Transferring or retaining a registration mark from a vehicle that is to be scrapped:

Provided the vehicle that you are scrapping still has a valid MOT and is currently licensed you may transfer/retain the registration mark.

If the licence disc on the donor vehicle has expired you may still be able to apply to transfer/retain its number without renewing the licence, provided, the vehicle licence expired no more than 12 months prior to the date of the application and a valid SORN declaration has been made. You should be aware in these cases it is likely that the DVLA local office where you make your application will wish to inspect the vehicle.

The DVLA Local Office will allocate the donor vehicle a replacement registration mark.

Further information:

The cherished transfer and retention requirements are quite clear. Participating vehicles must exist, be registered at DVLA and be available for inspection. In addition, vehicles must be of a type that is subject to an annual roadworthiness test and have a valid test pass certificate if appropriate, and have a current vehicle excise licence. The rationale behind the licensing and testable requirements is that vehicles which qualify are generally in a suitable condition for our staff to inspect. This means that their identities, and thus their entitlement to the marks claimed, are easier to verify.

There is, however, a longstanding concession to the licensing requirement for donor vehicles only. The keeper of a donor vehicle may still apply to transfer its number if the vehicle licence expired naturally within the last twelve months provided SORN has been declared. There must be no break between the expiry date of the licence and the commencement of the SORN.

This concession was introduced to cater for individuals who, for reasons beyond their control (such as an unexpected MOT failure) are unable to relicence their vehicle. The concession does not apply to individuals who have chosen to apply for a refund of vehicle excise duty, thus voluntarily taking their vehicle outside the scope of the number transfer arrangements.

Contact your insurance and tell them that you want to rebuild it with a new chassis and could they downgrade it to a category C.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
