So if I was after a very specific number plate to put on a car, which as far as I can tell doesn't appear to currently be in use... is it just a case of contacting the DVLA to see if I can get it on retention?
It's a number that would have originally been from 1964, so I'm not sure if it would ever have even existed in the first place.
They normally take your suggestion create it then auction it off, no grantee you'll get it.
A few of the dealers offer this, it is then listed for action as above, I found a matching pair of plates, but when I enquired..........they didn't exist, but the dealer cold get them raised for auctionQuote:

What you trying to do Jack? Get it registered in the UK with its original yank reg no.???? It might be worth asking someone like practical classics mag
Jack, the company I spoke to is http://www.nationalnumbers.co.uk worth a call, the are based up near me.............not that it helpslol
They are middlemen though.Nothing to stop you doing this privately with the dvla.Iv asked around.
I agree, Andy, talk to them get the gen, then go direct........Quote:

Not sure what the original plate for the car would have been - don't think the original paperwork mentions it - but doubt it would fit the UK format anyway.
I've got a couple reg plates in mind, both are very specific to the car so there's only a few people I can imagine would would potentially be interested. Although sod's law says someone with too much money to burn would buy it and stick it on a random car lol
The one I'd like ideally has 69 in it so I can imagine that would start at a higher price :roll:
