| Hi, a registration number that starts with a 'Q'. It is given to kit cars that can't prove that the vehicle was built from a donor vehicle i.e. a Jaguar etc. It's all a bit snobish really because if you have a 'Q' registration number then it is obvious that it is a kit car. See below for more info: see .
My vehicle has a "Q" prefix registration number. Can it participate in the transfer and retention schemes?
Sorry, no. Vehicles are assigned "Q" prefix registration numbers to draw attention to the fact that their origins or age are uncertain. "Q" numbers are therefore non-transferable and must remain with the vehicle unless documentary evidence which confirms its origins / age comes to light. In this case, the evidence should be sent to your nearest VRO who may then assign a replacement age-related number to the vehicle |
