Help! Registration Retention!!?

[Gustov]

Hey guys

This is on behalf of my dad who is getting a Audi a3 to replace his bm 5 series.

He has a private registration on the BMW and wants to know if he can put the old (original) registration back on?

'Once i have filled out my V317 form (vehicle registration) and retention for number plates and sent it too Swansea with a cheque for £105 what do i do next? Can i put my old number plate on the BMW (want to keep my private one for the audi) and what do i do with my V5 document (Log Book) Can't talk to any humans at DVLA at swansea '

How can I put my registration on hold when I decide to sell my car ?

You will need to complete a V317 - Application to transfer or retain a vehicle registration number. The cost to retain a registration number is £105.

Downgrading from a 5 Series to an A3 A3 is the sort of car you buy your wife.

Please elaborate again from a technical pov.

BMW Is 520 ISE 2.2 2001
