We supply registrations from various sources and we cannot accept any responsibility should the donor of the registration change their mind in respect of selling, or the registration becoming unavailable at point, or in the unlikely event of failure of the transfer at DVLA transfer level. All registration availability and prices shown throughout this website are subject to change without notice.

Bespoke and personalised items are excluded from Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 for distant sales. This means consumers do not have the right to cancel once orders have been placed as our services in respect of supply of registrations and/or number plates commences immediately.

By proceeding to purchase, you acknowledge this information and accept omit any liability on Pimlico Plates should a registration not be suitable for a vehicle.
‍17. Registrations can only be assigned to vehicles of tax and testable type. This means vehicles listed as limited usage such as farm or agricultural vehicles, tax exempt vehicles, or vehicles which do not require a MOT do not qualify for the transfer scheme and consequently it will not be possible to transfer a registration to/from a vehicle of this type.
