(3) Licences of individual dealers in force under the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act 1979 immediately before the appointed day shall be treated as from that day as having been granted under Part X of this Act (and shall be so treated, and of full force and effect under Part 10, notwithstanding that they do not comply as to form or content with the requirements of that Part); and where, immediately Consumer Affairs and Fair Trading Act 1990 148 before the appointed day, a single licence under the Act of 1979 is held by 2 or more dealers carrying on business as such in partnership, each of those dealers shall be treated as from that day as holding a licence granted under Part 10 in the terms of that licence.

(6) In relation to a licence to which subparagraph (3) applies, section 153 shall have effect as if it required the dealer to cause the licence to be exhibited at all times in a conspicuous position at the place where the dealer carries on business as such or, if the dealer carries on business as such at 2 or more places, at whichever of those is the dealer's principal place of business. (7) Where subparagraph (3) has effect, section 174 shall have effect as if the reference in subsection (1) to each place of business specified in a dealer's licence were a reference to each place of business at which the dealer carries on business as such.
