find a reg plate

I am looking for a private reg, but none of the selling agents have it listed.
I am sure that the reg has been on a car at some stage but it must be have been scraped.
I called the dvla but the girl I spoke to said she was not sure.
Any pointers on how to find a reg plate?

There was a DVLA page where you could check a plate see if it has an MOT and Tax.
Find a friendly plod see if they will do a vehicle check...

Try this Scott
Type the reg into the bit that says "Make sure that a car isn't stolen, written off or has outstanding finance, all for only £24.99" and it gives you the make & model for free

mate, google the reg and put 'number plate' next to it. If its for sale, then you'll find it

If you ring the DVLA they will add it to their next auction if there is enough interest...

Tells you what the car is at no cost (if the plate exists). £9.95 gets you the rest of the info.

There is a guy who posts on pistonheads who might be worth emailing-

Knows a lot about the game. My Dad got a copper cousing of his to find him JKE11Y which he later bought but apparently that is frowned upon now (this was in the 80s).
