Transferring a registration number to an A7

[Ian M]

the DVLA were very helpful and efficient when I had a similar situation

I do wonder if the difficulties I experienced were due to the particular set of circumstances that prevailed. Supposing I had spotted the chassis/engine number anomaly myself from the outset and written to the DVLA to enquire about getting the records corrected. Things might then have taken a very different direction. In my case, events were triggered by my initial request to put the existing age-related number onto retention, which might have set all sorts of alarm bells ringing at the DVLA once the anomaly with the V5C came to light.
