LOVE IS in the air for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle but could some of it rub off on wealthy drivers who might fancy pairing up with a royal-themed private number plate?
Fitted to a bespoke British 4×4 built to celebrate the royal wedding, ‘4 HRH’ is being advertised for £269,999 but its owner hopes that the growing hysteria around Harry and Meghan could see it sell for a record-breaking sum of more than £500,000.
Custom car kings, Kahn Design, have created a special edition Chelsea Truck Company Flying Huntsman version of the Land Rover Defender.
The four-seat, four-wheel drive Flying Huntsman features a regal-red, leather-lined interior and is available to buy separately from the number plate, for £79,999.
Company founder, Afzal Kahn, 44, said: “As a proud Englishman, this is our way of wishing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle many happy years together.”
The most paid for a private registration in Britain was more than half a million pounds, after John Collins, a dealer of classic Ferraris, bought ’25 0′ to fit to a rare, £10m Ferrari 250 GT SWB, in 2014.
Other rules regarding the registration transfer process that you have to be aware of are concerned with road tax. To start with, the DVLA will not transfer a registration number to a vehicle that is not taxed. Usually, this means the vehicle receiving the registration number must be taxed, although you can still apply for the transfer and include an application for road tax at the same time.
The vehicle that currently has the registration number could have a SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) instead of road tax, however, the SORN must be less than 12 months old (i.e. you can’t transfer a registration number from a vehicle that has had two or more SORNs in a row), and the vehicle must not have any breaks in its road tax record, i.e. a period of time when it had neither road tax nor a SORN.
If your SORN doesn’t meet any of these conditions, you will have to get road tax for the vehicle before you can transfer the registration.
