Hi, I took my old Jag off the road many years ago to do some repairs. Then i got offered a Toyota quite cheap, and the Jag got left. Then the rules changed and you had to 'Declare Sorn' if you took a vehicle off the road, when i rang them they said it didnt matter if its already off the road. Then the rules changed again, you had to get it SORN even if its already off the road. Then i got made redundant, now ive got a bit of free time, so i'd like to get my old Jag running again. But i'm a bit worried about the number. I asked the lady at DVLA about it years ago and she i would have to have a new number. Which i dont really want. I rang yesterday and asked if the number would be the same and she said yes the car would keep the same number. Has anyone else got any experience with this sort of thing ? I've just started filling out a V62 form. Regards, John :)

Hi Martyn, I also have a 1962 Mark 2. Those early plates often had four numbers and two letters. Sometimes the number plates were sold independently to someone with those initials. If this happened to your car, you will probably have to re-register the vehicle in your name, however you can ask for an "age - related" number as this vehicle now falls into the historical-interest classification. Best of luck trying to find out whats happened with the number, Regards, John :)
