Q plated cars can't have another plate transferred onto them.

It has nothing to do with the number plate. If you put a 1954 (for instance) registration on a new car it would not make it a historic vehicle. It is
all to do with the year the car was made. Or in this case first registered.
plus I think you cannot transfer onto or off q plate? not so sure on that one.

Wear your Q plate with pride. Q is for quality.
P.s. welcome to the forum.

By losing the marina plate and officially scrapping your F27.

As stated, Q plate forever
Tax exempt is on when car built / first registered not the plate you put on it

It's the main drawback with Q plates, you can't even replace it with a personal plate.

you could build a brand new marlin using the marina as a donor car - go through the IVA test and register it legally on an 'age related'
plate (i.e. one of the same age as the marina, but not the same reg number as the marina)
but even that that would still not get you a tax exempt car !
after all that work your new V5 would say date of first registration = 2014 and that's the bit that counts 
the only way to have a tax exempt car is to have built it before 1974 - the number plate on the thing is irrelevant when it comes to tax
so if you want a tax exempt car you've got one choice - drive the marina

Easy enough, swap the chassis and number plates, then pop in to your nearest local friendly VOSA test station with the car and V5 to get it rubber
stamped, Job's a good'un.
Do let us know how you get on, the red tape and bureaucracy can sometimes be a bit of bind.

Providing it was registered before 1 April 1974

or do what many do and just swap the chassis & number plates and claim it's a rebodied marina, take it for an MOT where the tester knows no
better, get your free tax disk...away you go in your tax free car
You should see what capers goes on in the landrover world, dvla what's that???

I've no idea why the dislike of Q plates. And I've no idea what the fascination is with personal plates. It's just the ID of the
car. Whether it's a Q or a T, they're only vaugely linked to the year and anyone buying a car like this would know to look for the actual
year anyway and not be buying based on the usual shopping-trolley-purchaser methods.
