Nothing wrong with that mate, it is the way of that world that some people, not me, are natural entrepreneurs and will match demand with a supply, by doing the homework that most of us are too lazy to do for ourselves.

My Mate had a big turnover in this business in the sixties, when there was legislation that you had to own the donor vehicle to which the registeration belonged, to transfer the number.

As no one could keep hundreds of cars stored with interesting numbers, he would buy a car with an interesting number, and scrap it. He also had lock ups full of mopeds and cyclemaster type cycles.

He kept the car registration details in his name, including it on his national advertising.

When someone wanted to buy an interesting number, he transferred it to one of the mopeds, then sold them the moped, enabling them to then transfer it to their car.

I am pretty sure that was how it worked.
