I've been told its impossible! Is it?
Been offered a 2009 Dodge Challenger off an air base, bought cars off base before with no dramas. When the car registered last year because the DiVvyLA didn't have satisfactory documentary evidence of its age they gave it a Q plate and registered it as a 2013 car. The American owner didn't realise it was a big deal and went along with it. I've done checks on the car in the USA and here and the car has excellent history.
The car is a sensible price but in my opinion the stigma of the Q plate rightly or wrongly will kill its resale value due to people's assumptions of its reason for,being on the car.
I would of thought with documents to prove the cars age it could be changed but I've been told by someone in the know it will be nigh on impossible to get it changed and that when a Q was given they would of had to sign to accept the consequences.
Any one ever got one removed or changed
