private number plate help
Discussion
bear with me for a long winded post please. okay so I had a Porsche boxster since December 2013 and after 6 months of ownership my mrs bought for me a private plate k*** gdb. I then sold the car at the end of September with the number plate still on to my next door but one neighbour. I now want to transfer this number onto my new vehicle however my neighbour has put another private plate onto the Porsche boxster and received all his new v5c and tax disc etc.in the new plates details so the k*** gdb is now on nothing. I downloaded form 317 from dvla and we got so far filling it out but it asks at the bottom for the v5c of both cars now that's fine on my part but my neighbours v5c is obviously all in his new plates details can anyone help as we both want to get this sorted out thank you. glynn.

Time travel aside , why not see if it's been put back in to the DVLA list of numbers available , ie try and buy the plate again from them.
If not and it's still lost in the ether then a letter explaining the circumstances to the DVLA may see you reunited with the plate for a small ( not ) fee.

flipping heck hope I haven't lost rights too it as my partner bought it me to cheer me up after my dad passing away and also having to have my dog put to sleep earlier in the year I have done a search on dvla and it hasn't come up so im hoping ill be okay its first time ive had a plate and didn't realise what a hassle it is. so peed off with myself now.

Never could get my head around private plates, particularly ones which are so obscure as to be completely meaningless to anyone except the buyer, can somebody please explain ?

I know someone who had a Jag XJ with a private plate
Car was broken into and ignition was demolished causing thousands of damage
Anyway the insurers towed it away to some yard
long story short they sold it onto a salvage company shortly afterwards
and a few months later the private plate was up for auction and reached more than he got as a payout.
