You'd have to contact DVLA and get them to do it, tell them you want to keep the plate on retention until you have another car to transfer to. Note that transfer costs are around £80.

dvla contact: 0870 240 0010

Hope this helps

Fee to retain is £25, the other £80 is assignment fee which is paid in advance of it going on another vehicle.

If you want to retain get a V778/1.

If you have another vehicle to put the reg on to use a V317 instead, cost will only be £80 as you don't need to retain in the mean time.

Both forms are available from VRO offices or most main post offices.

Un-screw them and then screw them back onto your new car?
