very true im afraid, what will happen is when you come to remove the plate from the y reg car you ahve rung into a A reg car DVLA due to it being a old car will request a inspection,,, when they inspect it they will realise its a ringer and then you not only loose the car as steve says by it being crushed you will also loose the plate anyway
