Default Private plate

Hi, few years ago in Romford I spotted an old MERCEDES 350 SE with a private plate on it . The guy said I could have the plate and car 78 DMH or DMH 78 cant remember which way round . How can I find out if this car /plate still excist ?


Can anyone help? be great if I could find the owners details ,teach me for not getting it on the day, sadly I lost the owners number.

I expect u can go on Internet and do a tax check to see if it's still taxed and u can go on ask mid and see if it's still insured. As for finding
The chap I wouldn't have a clue. I know u can apply to dvla for the owners details but think u have to be a company or something for that?
