WHITE VAN VANDAL

i recently broke a car not yet scrapped on log book.
i wanted the plate for another car. i phoned dvla and explained this they said the original plate had to come from a roadworthy car with tax and test which is now not possible. is there any other way i can get this number plate onto another car? it was only a standard j reg plate but i just like it.

Unless they want to inspect the "donor" vehicle, which they more than likely will as its over 15 years old.

Then your stuffed!

There was post like this a few weeks back, as mentioned then I once new someone with the same problem -

hyperthetically speaking you could get a dodgy MOT, then tax the vehicle. If the request to inspect the donor vehicle the only option other than loose the plate is to report the vehilce stolen, then wait 12 months to claim the plate back.

hyperthetically speaking of course, I would never suggest carrying this out and certainly would not condone this type of behaviour

Are you actually sure that the plate was transferable in the first place??? Im almost sure that you cant just remove any old plate just coz you fancy it, it has to be transferable.

it was just a standard issue plate.
