Hi,

I hope somebody will be able to help me.

I sold my Diablo red 306 GTI-6 a few years ago with the registration plate M19 OEB.

The guy I sold it to promised he would transfer the plate back to me but this never happened.

I am desperately trying to track down the new owner of the vehicle so I can get the number plate transferred back onto my new car.

I am willing to pay any costs incurred to the new owner plus a little extra if they are willing to help me out.

Wow that was a quick response!

is the car still on the road? is it still registered with that registration?

would you be willing if I were to pay all fee's associated to transfer the number plate over to my car as I have been trying to get it back for a while as that reg was a birthday present from my parents.

I would give you a few quid for your troubles.

Doesn't in reg need a tax and mot on both vehicles to transfer plate?

Im pretty sure it needs to be MOT'd and Taxed i.e. roadworthy to do so

"Road Tax and MOT requirements. Generally, vehicles must have valid tax (or be tax exempt) and if over three years old, a valid MOT test certificate to be eligible. However, if the donor vehicle’s tax and / or MOT has expired it may still be possible to transfer or retain its registration mark provided, at the time of application, the following conditions apply:

The tax expired within six months of the transfer application.
You were the registered keeper of the vehicle at the time the tax expired.
The tax expired naturally, i.e., you didn’t apply for a refund.
The MOT was valid at the time the tax expired.
There is no break between the date the tax disc runs out and the start of the SORN.
In all cases you will need to submit the MOT certificate, valid or expired and all vehicles must be clearly identifiable from their chassis numbers.

Note: If the MOT has expired, you can still transfer or retain the registration mark provided the road tax is valid at the time of the transfer application and that you were the registered keeper of the vehicle at the time the MOT expired.

You must not dispose of the vehicle until you have received a replacement V5C. The law states that any new keeper of a vehicle is entitled to keep its registration number should they wish if they were sold the vehicle before the seller receives a replacement V5C vehicle registration document."
