My first car was a 2013 Citroen DS3 DSport Red Diesel, black with red roof, reg AY13 HCP. I occasionally check the MOT history, the little thing is doing a lot more miles than it did in my ownership!

Would love to know where it ended up. I traded it in to Vindis VW Huntingdon in 2018. I've seen a glimpse of one nearby my house once, but couldn't get the reg.

Untaxed since 1997 so razor blades for sure … sadly.

That Spitfire is now green but not taxed since 2014 … may have been broken for parts or under a cover somewhere …

I wish I could track down a particular car so I can look to buy it! It’s a 2011 Citroen C1 knocking on 100k miles but I really want the plate for my son.

It’s not a vanity plate but would effectively spell his first name and initials.

I’ve no chance finding the owner have I really?

Not legally, no.

It is possible to enquire owner details at the DVLA over things like parking disputes, but doing so just to get a name and address in order to enquire about buying a number plate would not be.

That reg isn't registered any more, so unless it's abroad, you're right.

Likely hasn't been on the road in at least 20 years.

Had a look, it’s been really well maintained and improved.

I owned that car for 18 years, it’s really cool to see it go from strength to strength smile
