It's £25 per year.

Yep, £80 is the transfer fee, if you keep it on retention its £25 a year, to put a plate on retention costs £80 + £25 =£105 but that includes the £80 for if or when you decide to put the number on a vehicle.

Oh I stand corrected, wonder where I got £80 from?

They can be a pain in rear, as my daily has one on which was a presant about five years ago but its failed its mot and i've lost the V5 so i have to go to birmingham and pay £105 to keep it on cert. If your lucky enough to change motors alot i think thier more hassle than there worth.

My disco has a plate worth about a grand on it. The car has been sat in a garage for the last 3 years, I want to get rid of the car but the plate is worth far more. Now I have to MOT and Tax it before I can transfer the plate. Its a pain!

I had a Capri with C***FOX on it, it was valued at £400 but I couldn't give it away. Like many things there might be people making money at it, but don't buy it to make money, if you enjoy owning it then fine, you might get your money back (though I don't plan on selling my private plate anyway).
