I tried to do the same, but without success. I thought that once a number had been issued the DVLA wouldn't re-issue it.
How did you track it down?


I just googled it out of interest....I wasn't actually looking for the plate to buy at the time.
I assume that the plate must have passed from the original car to another....as "Fanny" as we called her would probably have been scrapped at some stage as Morris Oxfords weren't the most collect able of cars!
