We've just sold our old MG for parts. Its been SORN for about 2 years. What I failed to check out and realise was that because it hadn't been taxed within 12 months meant my cherished number plates had to go with it for scrapping! doh!

What a shame plumbs, I fancy a number plate with something fun on it!!!!!!

There was one at Stow fair with 'MUD' on it - which was funny as it was a huge 4X4 and about the only thing that could get through the mud that day!

Plums you could have saved your plate you just have to grovel a bit. We had a car off the road for a couple of years with my wife's personal plate on.We were told that it would have to go with the car to scrap but we wrote to the dvla and explained the situation and they said we could keep the plate which we did. We had to go over to the dvla in worcester to sort the paper work but it was worth the trip.

I wish I'd posted this sooner now!! oh bum!! It was DVLA in worcester I spoke to as well as we live about 15 miles from them! grrrrr. Car's gone now...it went as part ex on a landrover. I won't tell OH that we could have saved it....

If I remember rightly we wrote to the top dog in Swansea and they gave the go ahead and did the paperwork at Worcester. Might be a good idea to keep it from the OH

I find the DVLA and the TAX people,  usually helpful....usually    that is unless you get stuck in the automatic choice pick 1 for this and 2 for that, I always seem to make the wrong one!!!

I will definitely keep it from OH - he's on the phone now to the loss assessors about the VW camper (it was driven into by a lady 2 weeks ago) - its a right off    Its been great for transporting sheep/goats/hay/loads of kids in but alas, its gone to the great scrap heap in the sky (well Redditch). shite - I'm actually really cross now!!  .........

  , I bet you are.....well, hope you get a good pay out....never have done yet.....and my TAX man was on the phone being lovely jubbly!!!........The stress our cars give us   and our husbands, partners, family, children, animals etc!
