Number plates

[Leafa]

Afternoon all.

this may be the longest of longs shots.

i had a prvt plate bought for my 21st bu the in laws.

i scrapped the car but for one reason or another forgot about the plate (INSERT SWEAR NAMES HERE)

i checked that the car is still with the plate thanks to a link on here.

is there anyway of getting this back?

Go to the breakers yard and ask them if they still have the car in their possession

thanks for the advise but this was many many many moons ago

I thought this, but bought a "ringing kit" on eBay for the plate and the car hadn't been in the road in 2decades (or existed as it should really) and the dvla issued the plate on retention no probs at all - I had to fill in a few forms and speak with them but was fine

excuse my ignorance but what is a ringer kit?

I believe there is an appeal process
I had a car stolen years ago with a personal plate . Was found burnt out was promptly written off by the insurance company. I then wanted to transfer number to new car. was told by dvla I couldnt because original car was scrapped . after many appeals and many letters and phone calls I got my reg back

thank you so much
