Bought an old "B" reg plate to go on the 250 a couple of days back from Ebay for £60. They asked me to send them the V5 and a cheque made out to the DVLA for £80 so that they can start the transfer.
They received the paperwork this morning and I got an Email saying the transfer had been completed and the new reg is showing up on the DVLA website as belonging to my Z3.
However the car is not insured (until the 1st) and it is not taxed. I didn't think you could transfer a plate unless it was MOT'd, taxed and insured.
Of course now the (V5) document number has changed so I can't tax and so can't use it
Do I need to change the V5 to change the body shape or is that just going to open a whole new can of worms?
