Hiya.

You should have a form V949 (Number Plate Authorisation Certificate) with your 'private' registration on it.

In the past I've just taken this to my local DVLA office with £80, the tax disc, V5, MOT and insurance for the vehicle you want to move it on to and they do it all for you (MOT and Tax) there and then. I let the insurance company know and the V5 arrives a week or so later.

No issues I'm aware of moving from bike to car. Reg's aren't vehicle specific.
