The code T51 RMC

[Gorrillaas]

Is there an individual who own a red Mercedes with the registration number T51 RMC?

The automobile is a 1999 model and is currently taxed and has a valid MoT, as confirmed by the DVLA.

Is there a specific motive behind your inquiry?

[Gorrillaas]

I am interested in knowing if the owner would be open to selling the registration number.

The ownership of registration numbers does not belong to the vehicle's keeper; instead, they are the property of the DVLA.

If you are able to reach the registered keeper, you would need to surrender the registration to the DVLA. They would then issue a new registration for the car and arrange a transfer to you, unless the DVLA decides to auction it.

[Gorrillaas]

If the car was first allocated that number, then it would indeed be accurate. However, if the registration number was customised, it is conceivable to remove it and sell it.

Although it may be a customised licence plate, the DVLA still retains ultimate ownership.

The item you are "purchasing" is a privilege to transfer and use.

[Gorrillaas]

Indeed, the individual who is officially responsible for a customised licence plate has the ability to choose a nominee who may receive the plate as a gift and transfer it to another individual.

For instance, I have the option to purchase a customised registration and designate you as the nominee. Consequently, you would become the official owner of the registration number, rather than myself.

I have acquired a sufficient quantity of numbers from DVLA and possess a comprehensive understanding of its functioning.
