Default Anyone work for DLVA?

Back in 2010 I was waiting for the new 11 plate so I could buy WO11ETT & WO11ETS - Obvious it's my last name. DVLA said they would contact me when are avalible and would be £300 each.

About a week after the 11's became avalible I rememebered and jumped on their site to find they have sold them

I contacted them an they informed me that they were sold to a dealer to put on new cars and theres nothing I can do except wait until next year - if they are not used I could buy it then (double )

So, I'm wondering if anyone here works for the DVLA, and if allowed see if the above plates are being used or not. If they are on cars - any ideas where. I'll buy the bloody things if I have to !

Thanks.

I'm suprised that anyone would admit to working for the DVLA its staffed exclusively by complete idiots - all IMHO.

Sounds like they gave you duff advice ... learn a lesson & move on

TX.

PS

I'm surprised to hear that your surname contains the number eleven?!

Thanks for your replies... I did do Mid several times and it says not on the database, If a new car is sitting on a forecourt would the insurance come up?

And your right Terminator, I don't have 11's in my name but a lot of OO's and LL's & TT's

There was one which would of looked very similar to my name using 11 instead of a U.

It was only about £150 but doesn't look like that is available now either.

"WO11ETT"

The 11 reg would spell my surname exactly (well if the ones were 'L's) It was £399
On the release day DVLA's network crashed, I had it in my basket and went to check out but someone beat me to it.

Its now for sale at £12,995 ....
