Ashley 288 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 simple answer is they don't! at least not with mine nor 2 neighbours cars I've just entered! that said on ebay car seller if you entered reg no. it would fill in sales details, colour, date of reg, engine size, no of former owners etc, trim level etc, must have access to dvla details? same as insurence companies Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Didnt work for the neighbours car for me either. Strangely my car now has a personal plate so, its not even the original reg? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
littlebro 234 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 There are a few sites that give vehicle details, most are via registration or subscription (Experian & HPI etc). However, there are a few free sites giving limited information, for example: The DVLA site "Vehicle Check" icon allows you to see some vehicle details and taxation position. You need the reg number and make. DVLA The AutoTrader site is similar to the eBay site, you only need the reg. Not always accurate or up to date. AutoTrader The eBay site is not too accurate, my car comes back with 16" wheels, but it has 17" as a factory option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BAZZER 10 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 MICK: Strangely my car now has a personal plate so, its not even the original reg? FYNGER: oooo they got my car right....Irish plates too. Likewise: Mine is also personalised,,,, and Irish,,,, (BAZ) & it pops up on most searches. My sons Rover tho', hardly shows up on any ! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Slightly off topic, when searching most of the super duper 'we WILL be cheaper' Insurance searches, my son has to put in a wrong 'Employment' just to get to the next page. (Obviously puts it right when/if taking out a policy). Similarly, my last employment had to be: Security 'Consultant', I couldn't be a CCTV/Surveillance gear retailer/installer !

Ashley 288 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 just tried DVLA , entered details came back "not found" I did wonder what all that welding across the roof and floor was about! And as regards private number plates, stupid prices, far cheaper to change your name, (signed) Mr R122ORC Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,033 Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Minimum price for for plates with DVLA at the time I bought mine was £250. I searched and found a plate that spells my last name exactly in (letter number number letter letter letter) £250 Thanks DVLA, you missed that one. !clapping! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ashley 288 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Dad had a Standard 10 pick up reg was 5134E, remember such as at time of Manfred Mann's 54321 (1963?) wonder what that would be worth now? Coppers don't seem bothered now re "doctored plates" Radcliffe is full of them, I remember some woman getting done for "adjusting" 5 EXY, ditto a mate who after fitting a fairing to his bike cocked it up getting letters and numbers wrong way round!

littlebro 234 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hi Ashley, The Standard Ten was produced between 1954 & 1961. Your registration was issued in Staffordshire in 1958. The pick-up would be interesting but not valuable, most expensive Standard Ten (saloon) recently in auction was a shade under £3,000. The number plate would advertise at £3,000 also - but in the days of 'the crunch', perhaps would not easily sell now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BAZZER 10 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 talking of personal plates,,,,,, anyone interested in a personalised name/number for their mobile ? For eg: I have a couple, one being: 07???? BARRY. (Of course I had to change me name from Fred - to fit). You keep your original number as well, so you have two ! You can give out either number to who-ever & the phone rings slightly different for each one called. After buying the number/name, there are No further fees, rents, costs etc (or I would have them). Of course - just like plates - not all names available now,,,,,, strictly 'first cum' etc,,,,, Daft I know - but a giggle all the same ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fynger 841 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 My mate Steve Austin ( not the bionic one ) has both the plates '4 KOF ' and '4 COF' he runs a garage in Ilkeston.....He does all my car work cheapish as ive done him a few Tattoos over the years.
