MG TD TF 1500 - A mistake?

After a lot of soul searching I have come to the decision that I could use some level headed advice. We are in the final push towards the re-registration of our 1953 TD. Originally registered as MDG 629 in the UK, it has carried that registration ever since. Now that we are living in Spain we have had to re-register the car on to Spanish historical plates. My question is, how valuable from a historic point of view are the number plates? By declaring the vehicle as exported the plates will be lost - does it really matter? The other alternative, I suppose is to sell the plates on. My concern in this whole matter is that as the years pass, there are fewer and fewer TD's around with these original plates. Any advice/thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.!!

They would be of real value to your car only if they could be re registered if the car was taken back to the UK? Don't know it that is possible?
I would keep them with the car for the next owners....or, because of the first letters, sell them for a whole lot of money to an mg td owner who could use them in the UK?
