You can pay the £105 then pay £25 every year you keep it retained. If you pay £155 for 3 years and put it on a vehicle after a year, there is no refund
Yep once it's on retention, it's £25 a year. Once you have the certificate, get it registered online on DVLA's site and you can do the renewal online as well.
I have a plate on retention and get an email a few weeks before it is due to expire
About three years ago I came upon an old red Ford Fiesta on the M5 with the reg no: ABC 123! I couldn't believe I would ever see a plate like that. I wonder what price that would achieve?
Like everything in life, it is only worth what someone will pay for it and if no one wants it, its worthless!
I suspect these number plate people advertise these plates at silly prices to see if someone wants it and then they will try and acquire it at a far lower price than they advertise it at
