Tracking down a personalised number plate
There's a particular number plate I want to buy, which is apparently not available. However, searching at www.glass.co.uk it doesn't appear to be in use on a vehicle. Perhaps it has been written-off? Or could it be being 'held' by somebody? Is there anyway to trace it?
