Out of interest, what happens in UK when a vehicle is bought in UK for export and the private plate is not for sale with the vehicle. ie - the owner wants to keep private plate.

Can I drive a 'non-plated' vehicle in UK to the ferry port and how would I insure it for trip back ?

Cheers

The owner will need to get another plate allocated to the vehicle when he takes his retained one off.

If you do not have access to trade plates then the seller must register the vehicle on normal plates before handover. Presumably the tax and MOT paperwork would also have to be changed or else you risk being stopped on the way to the ferry.
