Not possible leh..............

 

It's possible lah.

 

Transferring an existing VRN onto another vehicle, .. while a new VRN is to be assigned for the old one.

 

Did that before lah.

 

While it is completely legal, I doubt TP will smile much when, back then, we drove two vehicles out together, and parked side-by-side.

Can happen usually one is old car waiting for transfer....there is a grace period to legally chance the plate.

But in this case....two new cars.....very unlikely. Unless the owner change from GS250 to the GS450h?

One is a normal GS...the silver one is a Hybrid version.

 

Someone can check the details of the licence plate....to see what color and model the licence plate car is registered as.

It could be this. The cars could be belonging to the showroom maybe? And they in the midst of changing plate?

 

The plate is registered to a GS 350 F Sport, so I presume the grey one is the 'right' one.

Ya, based on LTA records, the plate belows to the Grey GS350 which has the silver exhaust trimming.

 

Could it be the owner upgrade from a normal GS to one with a higher trim? After, rich people do funny things which we commoners will not understand.

I remember couple of years back, this evo car use another evo car's number plate illegally. The innocent evo car owner with the original number plate wondering why he kenna summon when he didn't even drive to that place.

Slight correction. The victim was driving a normal Lancer EX. [laugh]

If it is possible to buy a unregistered car from the PI or AD.

Then the photo situation can happen easily. With the high cost of COE.....it's even more enticing to do it.

Just make sure don't meet up with the same plate on the road.....and of course DON'T get caught for speeding or traffic offence.

You mean if someone is to retain car number, there will be a time when the old ride and new ride with the same number? [:/] In this case, both cars can drive on the road or not?

remember LTA gives a 3 day grace for the VRN to be transferred.

I don't think so its legal technically. [:)]

 

The new car owner can only use the old VRN upon the transfer being completed, if not he'll just have to be contented hanging the temp license plate (used by car dealers/agents) over the one he's taking over to drive around.

 

Conversely, the old "car owner" has to relinquish using the present VRN.

 

I doubt if LTA/ROV looks approvingly if such a practice is done.

 

cheers
