My saucy scooter isn't. It gets a regular wipe down with the disinfectant spray, because I love it. It is my freedom.

In my opinion the plates are yours.
You have reregistered the car so there is no longer a registration connection to the personalised plates with that vehicle.
In my view you would be perfectly entitled to sell them and as the vehicle came from a Police auction you would assume they have been checked as not been stolen.
In the unlikely event they proved to be illegal it would surely come back on the person putting them up for auction.
As I say, only my opinion but if it were me I would sell them.

[Magoo]

me too. sell them
just asking here can be considered due diligence

We can refuse to work on filthy vehicles, but a card seldom used. I remember back in the '70's, working under the dash of an HQ Holden, I heard some rustling be my ear...turned to look - cockroaches ! I was outa there !

A few years ago I did a WoF on a car, it really stunk, failed lots...one was rear seatbelts. So we had a gopher in the back, getting the rear seat out and getting some gunk off the belts so they could work. There was some guy found dead in the back seat of a car in Hamilton...he'd been there a couple of weeks. His Whanau wanted to keep his car...it was special y'know....

Well to make a short story longer, the original Owner of the ute sold the vehicle with the plates on it . I bought the ute off a guy who purchased it from her.. he re registered the vehicle with ordinary plates.. then i bought it.... personal Plates UP YOUR she had had a axe to grind with ACC and wanted to "get back at them".
... ,Apparently she had been,fiighting ACC for a result, for over 30 years
,,I could not convince her to sign over the plates /go half s in the $$,or even sell I them, and just cover my costs ,,nah she wasn't having a Barr of it ,just wanted the plates put back in her letter box...
....She mentioned religion/ ACC/ not wanting to double dip on the sale of the vehicle ,rambling ,I realized i was talking to someone under a lot of stress ,and emotional considerations,,how ever she paid $1000 ,,one thousand dollars for those plates .and is is no state to do any thing with them ,i think if i understood her she was going to put one of them on her trailer ! I offered to help her out ,sell the plates for her ,but to no avail , ....So i drove back up to her flat and put the plates in her letter box ,as she requested.,what a waste ...
