Hi Gang,
Anyone on here able to trace a number for me?
Nothing dodgy, just want to find out if I can buy back my old man's reg from his first BSA C12.
Its MBK167

Thanks in advance

RAC reg check states it is not in use.
Means its been scrapped with the motor it was on and is not active.

Worth contacting dvla to see if you can purchase it ( or at least if its possible).

Edit... DVLA >> http://www.dvla-som.co.uk/home/

Good luck.

DPA= Data protection act , might be something to do with it guys

just a thought
 
I tried to trace my first cars reg a few weeks ago and I got this reply from the DVLA which may explain !

=======================================================

Thank you for your recent enquiry.

I am sorry but we have no record here for this mark 432DYM.

I should explain to you that the DVLA?s computer register was closed in 1983. After this, vehicles presented for registration were only allowed to display their original marks if they satisfied certain criteria. However, from 5 November 1990 the rules were changed to allow vehicles to display their original marks on a non-transferable basis, as long as applicants are able to supply documentary evidence to prove entitlement to the mark. However since your vehicle was stolen and never recovered it will not be possible for you to reclaim this mark and transfer the number on to your new vehicle

I trust the above information has been of help to you but if I can be of further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.


=================================================

In other words I had no chance !
