DVLA will tell you nothing, certainly NOT put you in touch with the current owner of the retention certificate if there is one.
If it's gone it's gone, they won't resurrect them.

You'd have to contact DVLA.
If the plate has never been issued then they will offer to list it in a future auction of theirs..

I recently tried to get a plate back that I had forgot to renew its retention. The plate was in my name and it had been out of date for 2 years. I contacted DVLA and even after escalating to higher levels of management, the answer was sorry but when it’s gone it’s gone and nothing will revive it.
