It gets a bit more difficult than that, Alan.  UK listers can explain it
better than I, but several years ago the UK vehicle registration folks at
Swansea made a change in the registration system and announced that anyone
who wanted to maintain their old plates had to do A., B., and C.  Those who
had cars that were unregistered/taxed at the time and who did not do A., B.,
and C. lost the right to the plates.  Those cars would have to be registered
today with modern reg numbers, not the historical ones.  The only way
Swansea will allow this person to use the plate that is original to his car
would be to prove that the car had been registered with the old number.
Apparently, the old registration records are either not available, or the
authorities are not willing to search for it.

If I'm not mistaken, UK should keep a pretty complete registration
history of the car.  He can probably figure out all the previous
owners are by going to his local land transport department.
