Just to add to my earlier post, I should also mention that there is a proper process for notifying the DVLA if a vehicle is permanently exported when sold. However, this seems to fall by the wayside if a foreign buyer does not adhere to the process. This would explain why the registration record for AYM324 is still extant with the DVLA, even though the car has been across the other side of the world for the last 10 years or so.
