Hi I hope someone has can help me or just give me advise

I am due to pick up an R reg classic tonight I have just tried to insure it. However my insurance have said the reg R120 GNA does not appear to be registered on the DVLA system. I have tried to get a hpi check and an autotrader car check, but still no luck they to cant find the car... So I have rand DVLA and they have confirmed the reg "R120GNA" is not registered or exist but he did say it might just be a mistake on the plate the reg is defo R120GNA as I took a picture of it...I am really confused if the reg is wrong whats the fella selling it hiding??
I am now not sure if its an import or a UK car

any help or advice would be great

Regards Jim

 

It was a real number at some time..

I've got a mk3 Astra gsi like that also, have contacted the dvla over it as I've had the car for over 10 years and now they can't find a trace, funny tho because the fûckers were quick enough to send out fines for the car a few years back thanks for reminding me about it actually, I need to chase the ******* up over this

 

It's not showing up on the Motor Insurance Database which doesn't mean much if it hasn't been insured for a while.

If you have the relevant documents try searching here.

Explain ?

 

I have no idea it seemed odd to me
but I went round to confront the lad who was selling it as I had given him £100 deposit he smiled chuckled a little to him self showed me the log book and then peeled of the stickers on the reg plates....so to be honest I was mad at first because I thought some one was trying to mug me off...anyway I then did a hpi check and I rang the DVLA all is good he used a "0" off a reg kit you use for making up caravan plates and managed to get a white "0" from a motor store......I am now under going therapy.... STRESSSS.com............WHOOOSSAAA!! lol

 

Be careful he hasn't been collecting fuel without paying etc etc! Lol

 

Shady ******! Not the brightest spark either, picking a reg that's not in use. Reminds me of a guy on some plod reality show who'd changed his xx02 plate to xx82 with sticky tape 'cos the car was nicked, even though the number won't be used until 2032

I added the details to the Vehicle Enquiry and they ask that you contact the DVLA as the vehicle cannot be found.

However with the corrected palte it appears to be legit.
But unlicensed.
