At long last, I pulled the trigger.
Bought a dateless, personal plate for the S10 today.
Disclaimer: This is England, not America or Africa and other places where you could get a much much better, more personal plate.
As has become a way of life for me with the weirdish cars and trucks I buy, nothing is easy.
After spending an extended period getting p1$$€@ around and off by AI , I managed to get transferred to a real,human, and then it came out that the V750 paper document should arrive in 2 weeks, at which point I can then go online and do an online transfer of number onto the truck.
Next step will be getting a pair of CHEAP yellow and white motorbike sized plates at 300mm x 150mm witha single line number.
