I was also given to understand that "non transferable" on the V5C meant that another registration number could be transferred onto such a car, but the existing registration could not be transferred to another car or retention certificate.
Very old traction engine from the isle of man, probably off the road pre 1921 and possibly never regiatered in the current system. Restored in cheshire by the mid 1990's got issurd an age related plate. Moved to and re registered to the isle of man in the 2000's. All done properly. Came back 5 or 6 years ago. DVLA notified. Got its 1990ish age related plate back.
