Age related or Q plate

[twinturbo]

The private plate transfer is the only issue I can think of.

personally I prefer a Q plate as I'm not building a replica I could understand if someone wanted to build a replica Ferrari of Lambo or if they wanted a personalised plate.
I know it sound wieird but i think its the final peice for a kit car

Age related plates arn't transferable! so I would assume the private plate thing not possible on kit cars.....

My understanding is that you can have a plate that is the same age, or older than, an age related plate, that's it's only Q plates that can't be transferred. Not certain of that, but I've heard it a few times.

Mr Henderson is correct.

Thank's for confirming my own research, that is also my understanding of the current situation.

I was beginnig to think that I was having a senior moment, more so when I noticed that some of the relavant information, is no longer on the DVLA's web site
There used to be a well defined points system that could be used to check your age related number plate entitlememt ( Can't find it anymore though ) !!??

Was reading some interesting information on a Cobra builders forum the other night.
Got the general idea that the old point's system had been revised, every major component is now worth 1 point & 2 point's are all that is needed to qualify for an age related plate.

Have not got a clue as to how building a Cobra compares to the process of a Roadster build but they were recent posts.

Must say, the registation process seems to be a minefield to navigate & as with the IVA , forevermore evolving

A personal plate is the only reason for my desire for an age related plate & only time will tell on that one

Us usuall Mr Henderson is correct - hmm if so why can I not transfer a private plate onto a car that has been given an age related plate - DVLA refused as, to quote 'age related plates are NON transferable'
Therefore how can an age related plate on a kit car be transferable as age related plates are considered the same regardless of vehicle type they are issued to!

Hmmm .... a little confused here

DVLA information obtained from here

Registration transfer

& here

DVLA INF46

INF46 states that if will say on your V5C if the registration number is non transferable.

Perhaps someone who has recently registerered a build on an age related plate will have a look on their V5C to see if there is a marker on it
