  Get it transfered to a retention cert & apply for a new registration to be out on your car. 9/10 it will be the same one that was in there before the private plate went on.

  He'll have to wait for the new registration documents to come back... Unless the buyer is happy to purchase the car without this, and you forward it onto then 2/3weeks later (when it arrives).

  Is there a risk if I sell the car like this, the buyer could lie and say the plate was part of the sale?

  I would personally wait until the original documents come back... Less headache! I've owned a private reg for almost 10years now, and to be honest cars with private regs take on average 4weeks longer to sell than non private as you have to apply for the docs, list to sell, then wait for the docs to come back before going ahead with a complete sale. However, I have sold a car before the docs came back, though that was around 4years ago - I gave the buyer the bottom part of the V5 which was stamped by DVLA to confirm the cherished transfer was going through - then when the original reg docs came, I filled out the buyers details and sent it off for him.

  you cant sell it untill u get the v5 back with the old plate on.
  if u use the current one, u sell the car with the private plate, so lose it.
  plus I don't think anyone would buy it from u without the documents anyway?
  mine took about a week the last time I did it.

  Best to wait until the plate is off

  Phew - that's a relief, I thought that this thread was gong to be about horribly broken bones in the skull!!
  
  Glad that you got it sorted OP.
