Answer 2

Take a look at ebay there are loads of dealers there who will help for a percentage, or ask at you local DVLC, once the plate has been sold you can get another to fit the original year of the car

Answer 3

You need to get a form V778/1 from your local DVLA to apply to put the VRM on retention.  The vehicle must be taxed or SORN with no gap in the licence/SORN and you must provide the V5C registration document and MOT certificate.  There is a fee of £105 and you should send everything to your local DVLA office.

Your vehicle will be allocated an age related number and you will receive the private number on a retention certificate.  You can then advertise the number and once you know the name of the buyer send the retention certificate to DVLA to add the buyer as a nominee on the certificate, this will cost £25.

Once you get the retention certificate back with the buyers name on you can just hand it over and he can apply to put it on his vehicle.

Job done!
