I know they would like the problem to go away - it is too big for them to handle.
Interesting thread on PH a few weeks back posted by some whiney woman that her beloved MGA was to lose it's original number and be allocated an age related one. The car had been restored twenty years ago using another unknown chassis and MGB running gear which due to an insurance valuation had all now come out into the open. She was creating merry hell with the DVLA appeal system and looking for the masses to support her in keeping a number for a car that no longer existed and which used different running gear. She was somewhat surprised to be told by everyone she was bloody lucky to be being offered age related/ historic and should grab it with both hands.
The new allocation of age related numbers is handled in it's entirety by two people at Swansea.
i actually thought that the DVLA where been remarkably fair to the lady and the fact that she couldnt see the 'gift' that was been offered was amazing.
id like to think that she carries on moaning and the DVLA come back to her with another offer that involves a full IVA test and a kit car logbook!
