Track down an old reg

Post by sync24 » Wed Aug 12, 2015 5:58 pm

I am trying to track down a private plate that I bought with a car back in 2000 - It's not appearing on any websites and I would like to try and track it down.
Any ideas people?

I'm not sure how private plates work, but can they be 'removed' from use by the DVLA? I'd start with the DVLA and go from there
CURRENT: Montecarlo Blue Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifolglio, 2.9ltr bi-turbo, 510bhp
PREVIOUS: Volvo V60 Polestar, build number 149/700 worldwide - 3ltr straight 6 turbo. 350bhp remapped to 400bhp. Only one of 120 in the UK
PREVIOUS: Misano red B7 saloon, stage 2 map to 425bhp, manifold flap delete, KW V3 coilovers.

All my searches have turned up a blank - I want to know if the number plate I want is in circulation, what car it's on and the owner! A tall order!

I need to find a friendly copper/DVLA person :-)

To start with, put the number plate in https://www.carcheckuk.co.uk/
That will give you the make of car its presently on (if at all).
Then put the plate & car make in https://www.gov.uk/get-vehicle-information-from-dvla
This gives more details of the car...
Can't help with the owner unfortunately...
