Finding old registration numbers ?? - autumnboy

I've been searching for an old registration number I or my father had on our cars in the 60/70's.

But can't find them listed anywhere on the various sites.

Is there anyway of finding these old registrations, even if knowing the vehicle has been scrapped long ago.

Ask DVLA if it still exists, don't ask who owns it as that is under the DPA but can be overcome. Use the RAC vehicle check function and enter your reg free. Regards Peter

Worth a look on www.vehiclelicence.gov.uk
Go to 'Vehicle Enquiry' and try entering the registration number and make. If it's on the system you'll see when it was last due to run out of tax or when the tax is due if it's still a runner.

Difficult if it's on a different make of car now, so search RAC first.

If there is a vehicle out there with the number on a V5 it will be on the RAC site.

I just found a number I had 40 years ago on a motorcycle.

Was you trying to purchase you old REG? I've found out that my old REG is now 'sorn' does this mean it could be bought.
