How do I sell a number plate????

I have a registration document for a kit car (now deceased), a Mirage kit car. My neighbour tells me that the reg is worth something not that I am into such things but he is obsessed by them.

How do I go about selling it? Anyone know? It is an A reg plate.

I don’t have any idea how to value such a thing.

The vehicle the reg is allocated to needs to have a current MOT before it can be transfered / sold.





7 out of 10 people suffer with hemorrhoids. Does that mean the other 3 enjoy them?

If it's been declared scrapped I think you've had it.

Basic rules are "Vehicles taking part in the Cherished Transfer scheme must be currently licensed, subject to annual testing (MoT/HGV) and available for inspection."

The last requirement might be a problem for you if it is no more.

According to the DVLA site, it technically only has to be subject to MOT ("subject to annual testing" not necessarily actually have a certificate. In addition, though, it's actually got to be in existence!

Subject to annual testing and have a current MoT certificate. Been there and done that 2 months ago.

As above, previously working in motor insurance claims I've seen a few accidentally gone to the grave because staff/customers didn't know the rules, a very expensive mistake in some cases!!!

Just bolt it to some other random kit car you've got kicking around, change the chassis number and MOT it.

Voila!

Cheers,
James
