Lacquer Peel Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Possibly. It would make sense that it's something high end and unreliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillock Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I reckon so, the line down from the taillamp to the arch matches that better than the "uggers" one which is horizontal (assuming the car is intact) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Interesting, both my cars have had private plates at one point but since changed back. However, typed in my dads personalised plate for his 2012 Volvo and it gives the original plate form his previous 2006 Volvo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sterling Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 www.ukvehicle.com Sweet! Interesting site. Out of all the vehicles I've had, only the 827 Coupe previously had a private plate which was only a Norn'Irish-syled one: LIW1777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HH-R Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Excellent, my Rover 75 lives on! I thought it must have been put on a private plate because sometimes the original reg shows up on the DVLA sites, sometimes it says "I can't go for that (no can do)".

HH-R Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Seems pretty daft that on the DVLA MOT history site, the private plate inherits all of the history, even if the new plate was only on for a year or so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HH-R Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 The Zafira on the previous page hasn't been dumped, the owners have just lovingly parked it up its daily dose of McDonalds and crayon. dave21478 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiperCub Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Just tried the ukvehicle.com site, interestingly, I put the reg of my 1991 MX5 in, as it spent it's life in Jersey until 2013, when it was first used in the UK, it says it doesn't need an MoT (as it's less than three years old as far as UK is concerned) which would be at odds with DVLA then! tom13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvestman Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Never found out the story behind this one. Sat in the parking lot of a strip mall in this spot for 3 or 4 years straight. Was in decent condition too, apart from the left rear window being punched out. Finally vanished when the parking lot was repaved. No idea why it wasn't towed, unless it belonged to the property owner... Abandoned: Mitsubishi Eclipse by Harvestman Man, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillock Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 We've got a RAV4 dumped at the side of the M1 J22 roundabout - life expectancy low, since they're widening the roads and it's right on a bit that's getting dup up imminently. And just round the corner, there's the remains of a Ford Focus that's been burned out in a Travelodge car park. Scrap man's had neither, which just shows the price of metal.

Angrydicky Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 There's a Lithuanian registered Opel Astra estate dumped on London Road in Dover. It hasn't moved in a few weeks and the steering wheel is covered in mould. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 There was a 2003 Polo dumped near my local Aldi with front end damage for a few weeks but that's been lifted now.There was a Grand Voyager with no plates and flat tyres on a street corner up the road from me, but eventually a paper 'numberplate' appeared (a private plate was taken off) and now it's somehow been moved back to its original place on a small driveway off the road, but the tyres are still flat.There's a Peugeot 106 (an S2) with a broken rear window (sound familiar?!) in a layby on the Sheffield side of the Woodhead pass that's been there a fair while. Probably unlikely to move as it's either Barnsley or Sheffield council's problem and it's closer to Holmfirth than either of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greengartside Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Shame about that red Fiesta - I wouldn't mind giving it a new home. 205 did well according to MOT online, 183k miles at last test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Foxhake Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 The red fiesta is almost immaculate. Bar the badly repaired bump on the rear bumper it is clean as a whistle. Even the interior is very clean. Shame really, guess it needs a clutch or something that rendered it worthless*.Still new to me,even at 14 years old. Edit to add, it is still MOTed till June or July. Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reverend Bluejeans Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I seem to recall that if you owned a truck, you could just go and get it and inform the council that you have removed it and are storing it. The 205 and Fezzer need saving. Maybe the Passsat. Not the Mr Two or the Pueuegeout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
