hi guys, i been offered a cheap car with an interesting private plate on it. s4svr perfect for a ducati or audi owner. i,m interested in it as a money maker or to keep on retention but the car i don,t want. would i be able to transfer the plate on to a retention then probably scrap the car as its an oldish one. could i scrap the car unregistered and how would i go about the transfer as the local dvla office down here is no more! thanks all!
From dvla bit of gov.uk I have a personalised registration on my vehicle. Can I take it off the vehicle and keep it on a certificate? You can apply to retain it (keep it on a Retention certificate) by completing a V317 Application to transfer or retain a vehicle registration number. The cost to retain it is £105.00.

The vehicle would need a valid MOT before you could put the plate on retention. I don't think that plate would be worth much - so probably not worth the hassle. Hundreds of S4 reg still available at £250 including the Transfer fee Prefix registrations search. Searches prefix style registrations
