Interesting, I've never had one unless you count the single digit numbers I had on my Triumph Spitfire (KDM 2K) and (YLG 2W) on a Fiat X1/9. I've been trying to find one of my old cars, any of them actually that will have surely gone to the breakers yard eons ago but I've drawn a blank. If anyone knows of a good search engine, then let me know. Anyway, what happens to plates when a car is scrapped, do the log books go back to The DVLA or are they just taken out of circulation?
