Quick update on this, Iv had quite a bit of interest in the car. When someone wanted to view it, I went online to remove my private number plate but was unable to remove it using the online form as the previous owner had the car sorned, despite me owning the car 15 months and having it taxed, insured, motd and on the road the whole time.
Iv had to send the logbook back to dvla to remove my private plate using a form by post and I will update this advert once I have the logbook back on the cars original plate and it’s ready to go.
