Looking to buy a plate - SA51 PNK
Discussion
As it says, I'm looking to buy the above plate, assuming we are realistic on prices. It's the missus's birthday in a few months and this would make her giggle.
I've looked on the usual plate sites but nothing shows so I assume it's on a car already and I've little chance of finding it myself so if any eagle eyed readers spot it / know where it is, please send your answer to the usual address on a postcard or the back of a sealed down envelope (I guess you need to be over a certain age to remember that).
thanks all

It's on a Land Rover Freelander.I've looked on the usual plate sites but nothing shows so I assume it's on a car already and I've little chance of finding it myself so if any eagle eyed readers spot it / know where it is, please send your answer to the usual address on a postcard or the back of a sealed down envelope (I guess you need to be over a certain age to remember that).

Cheers Zollar, impressively quick response!
I was hoping that by now it might have been on a scrapper. I take it there's no way of getting an address from DVLA etc. Did it show which county it was in wherever you found that?
We're in Lancashire so it'd be just my luck it's in the Highlands or Cornwall.
Plates one letter removed are in the £250 mark so it's more than likely nothing special to the Freelander owner.

No information like that, obtained the details from Askmid and DVLA vehicle enquiry.I was hoping that by now it might have been on a scrapper. I take it there's no way of getting an address from DVLA etc. Did it show which county it was in wherever you found that?

That's not how the pricing of private plates works...Although the Freelander it's on is silver so maybe it doesn't mean anything.
You'll never be able to track down the owner unless you saw the vehicle and stuck a note to their windscreen or something. Or hacked the DVLA database.
FWIW (and don't it personally), it's a pretty chavvy plate IMO.
A note on the window seems as likely as a snowball.
No offence taken. There are some hideous plates out there I agree. To be honest this plate won't mean anything to anyone other than me, the other half and a few friends and as it's not a truncated number wouldn't look like a private plate to the rest of the world. It's not that I was trying to put it on a PiNK car, just a normal everyday red one.
Regards pricing, SA51 PAK and PEK are both £250. As it's meaningless to most and doens't spell a common word it's less desireable and hence less expensive. I assume that's what you meant on pricing?

The only way to get the DVLA to disclose an owners address is to pretend to be a company that is trying to chase down a parking fine. They might offer to pass on a private request for you, but I've never heard of that working. Is it the Sassy part you want or the PNK? You'd be better off looking for plates already for sale IMO.

Not looking to get into dodgy ground impersonating or otherwise socially engineering the answer. It was an extremely slim chance that a PH'er might own have seen it but if you don't ask you don't get.Both parts that are needed for it to work or I'd just get another SA51 plate. I'm taking a slight liberty at that as it should be 'Sazzy'.
Thanks anyway fella's appreciate the effort and thoughts. She's just have to make do with some Thorntons and a bouquet instead.

Neither show as insured, unsure if they're registered to a car though or for sale

PAK could be considered borderline racist. PEK doesn't mean anything. PNK is pretty close to pink which is a colour so I guess it would be more desirable.As mentioned, if it's just the PNK you're after check out alternatives on the DVLA or plate seller websites.
I've tried finding some plates which mean something to me but are on sheddy cars and probably don't mean anything to the owners, not had any luck so far.
Edit:
Turns out you're after Sazzy... in that case keep a look out in 2021 for SA21 PNK

Genuinely sounds like I'm going to have to rethink the whole plate idea for her unless someone has a Delorean I can borrow. Promise I'll not put more than 30 years on the clock
I don't know what would happen if you wrote to the DVLA and said you want to buy this plate, and could they send this (include a stamped envelope which was unsealed so they could check, and a letter to the owner of that plate asking if they would sell to you) to the owner of that plate?
Why dont you contact one of these places that knock up the fake 'show' plates and give her them instead?

I'm fairly sure that they categorically don't do that. It's not worth their time. Wanting to buy a plate also isn't considering grounds enough to pass on contact details.KTF said:

It's a bit rubbish if she can't actually put them on the car.Example: http://www.myshowplates.com/
