DiMarco Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) Hi all, I have been looking online for my surname as a reg for years but I have been also trying to find it in the old reg pattern but I cant find a site that deals with 1980-81 reg plates. I am looking for SPA990W but there is no site that does before A reg. Any ideas. Nick Edited April 28, 2014 by DiMarco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiney_norman Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 You won't be able to put it on the A anyway, you can't put a reg number on a car which will make it appear younger than it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amantafan Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 regtransfers.co.uk has SPA 880W on their books, but they want 8 Grand for it.. I don't know of any private reg companies that don't deal with the earlier or Suffix type plate where the last letter denotes age of vehicle but it may not be obvious from their basic search page. Try Advanced Search. Or ring them. As per the previous post you will not be able to use this reg on a Manta A as you cannot make the car appear newer than it is. Have you tried the DVLA direct? If the exact plate you want is available, they will issue it and put it in public action. They will also notify you when the auction is taking place. I got mine this way.

1900SR Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Try the DVLA first as said above, if it's never been issued you should be able to get it from them. If it has been issued then you'll need to find out who's got it. If regtransfers are advertising it they should be in touch with the owner, so you can make an offer for the plate through them. They have a habit of vastly over inflating the price of plates, the told me JHK3V was worth over a grand, in the time they advertised it for me they got me one offer of about £200!

Just made an offer on it lol got declined. That is a stupid amount for a number plate. So I have put my SPA990W and waiting to hear something but I am not paying anything stupid for that.
