The way I think the registration number thing works is that it continues to be assigned to the original car until dvla hear differently, as in you inform them that it's been scrapped or exported for example.
Let's face it, if the number had been put back in the pot and was now on another car it would show up on a search as on whatever it now belonged to via a private plate transfer, as its still out of the system then I'm confident it's still assigned to the Flaminia.

Mike, if you are interested then I can hang onto it if a deal can be done, until the summer in reality. Once we get to March I'll be bringing either the Dedra (assuming I get it finished...) or the integrale home so that will free up space to get at my Flavia. Not ideal, but I don't mind storing it for a while longer if someone with the needed enthusiasm comes along. The right buyer to take it on is more important to me than getting it gone quickly, although every time I think about it going the more I think about keeping it! But reality is that I have the Flavia along with 3 other classics so how many can  I really justify keeping.. So a new buyer is preferred

To the best of my knowledge registration plates don't go back into the pot. Once issued that stay attached to the car they were assigned to until it's either transferred off as a cherished plate (and replacement number issued that may be non transferrable), exported (in which case it's recorded and can be reassigned if the car comes back to the UK) or killed off completely when the car is notified as scrapped a tend of life.

I know there's a number plate I'd pay (some) money for but the car was exported so it's not available.

If DVLA were to put plates from known scrapped cars back on the market there'd be demand for quite a lot but that's not how the system works.

I missed the bit about having the 1980s paper log book. DVLC started computerising in the 1970s, a cousin of mine worked on setting up the system. My Flaminia had been off the road so long it was never on the system hence the need to "recover" the original plate.

Transaxle. As you can see, as per the front, the brake discs are thick enough to stand a very light skim to rid the surface rust, not pitted so should be fine with a light pass. Not maybe the finest detail but new discs are very expensive!

Last picture, so it's not all doom and gloom!
What a set of dials to be looking at once done  Cool

Rust is rust, just pieces of metal to clean or replace, some will clean up but a lot will need to be replaced if it was me, do it once thoroughly and you won't need to be doing it again in 5 years time.

Guy is correct.

When SORN was introduced you had to contact DVLA with details of any off road cars that you wanted to be retained on the system. If this was not done the registration number was deleted from the system but not retained or re-allocated in any way by DVLA.

If you have old logbooks or V5s from pre-SORN DVLA are usually OK about re-allocating the original number back to the car on a non transferable basis, but often ask for a Club letter to avoid re-shelled/built up from bits cars obtaining 'nice' old registration numbers. I say usually because they can be pedantic depending on who picks up your case.

Thanks for the confirmation Neil, I do have the last issued V5 that is in Tonys' name still so should be fairly straightforward to transfer to the new owner.  Cool
Although Mitka keeps tempting me with his stuff, maybe I'll just keep it!

If anyone is still interested, but hasn't seen the "coupe resurection" thread, I have partly stripped the engine down and found it was mostly just gummed up.
The heads though remain stubborn to remove.
As it is I will still be willing to sell, but be quick as I may grow to like it!
Now we know the engine isn't destroyed internally and is salvageable then surely that's a better prospect?
Just ask, I don't need a fortune for it, anything over £2k will be enough I'd reckon. Get me my money back if not anything for time invested.
Failing that I will keep plodding on.
