Thank you very much for your comment, Gareth. I've never had any experience with private plates before so your insight is very much appreciated. I did request a valuation from a couple of specialist services and both valued it at £700-800 (what I would get in case of sale after their commission is taken). The car has been in constant use (judging by its MOT history) so had been continuously taxed I believe and has a current MOT. As to why the previous owner didn't retain the plate for themselves - it's anyone's guess I suppose. Also, thank you for sharing your experience that it may take a long time to sell - this is something I obviously need to take into account. Kind regards, Rafael

Just bought an old Golf with S5UGR private plate and trying to understand how desirable this might be to some S5 owners if I decide to sell it? Might read it as "S5 SUGAR" I suppose so some might find it attractive? Any advice greatly appreciated.
