I have a bit of a query which I hope someone can help with.
I have two cars registered to me with a cherished plate on each vehicle.
I have just traded in one of the cars to a dealer so I will be doing a cherished transfer to the new vehicle by putting the plate on retainer.
Ideally I would like the cherished plate which is on my other car to be on my new car as it is a better plate so because I am going to be putting the plate on retainer anyway while I wait for the V5 of the new car, I thought it would be a good opportunity to make the change.
When I put the first plate on retainer of the car I am trading in ("Plate 1"), can I then also at the same time put the plate of the 2nd car a ("Plate 2") also on retainer and transfer Plate 1 straight on to this car or does it have to go back to its original reg first? Plate 2 would then remain on retainer until I get the new car. I'm hoping that this would cut down on a bit of messing about and also not have to pay the transfer fee more than once for each plate.
In terms of transferring Plate 2 onto the new car, when can I actually do this? Do I have to have the new V5 with me as the registered keeper?
