dsl ◊ 2016-11-07 17:30	I think you're right "A63 CNP is a red 1984 Toyota Celica Supra with a numberplate first registered in Worcester in 1983. This Coupe was first used on the road on 15 October 1984. A63 CNP has also previously been associated with B148 RRJ. Tax Status Vehicle is declared SORN (off the road) MOT Status Not MOT'd. Last MOT expired September 5, 2009 First Registered October 15 1984" So as an Oct 84 Celica it should have had a B plate, which it seems was the case pre-transfer as B148 RRJ. And it's been off the road since 2009.

I still see the Audi quite often around town, carrying its original "55" plate. I have the "61" plates for the Mercédès, which it carried for about a week, in the garage at home.
dsl ◊ 2016-11-08 14:49	So the initial "normal" registration supplied from showroom gets re-instated if/when the cherished number is removed? So in effect there is a registration-at-birth which remains attached to the car through/underneath whatever transferred plates may be adopted?
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2016-11-08 15:52	It would seem so from my experience. I was given the list of indices released en bloc to the garage by DVLA and offered the opportunity of choosing one. This appeared on the car when I collected it from the showroom, and I then returned about a week later and waited while the garage put the new plates with my cherished number on the car. -- Last edit: 2016-11-08 17:59:51
