Number Plate GF 5656

[saluki42]

Hi, I've just been going through a random box of bits that were delivered with my Model Z project. To my surprise stuck under the flap of a cardboard box was a front number plate "GF 5656". I bought my Z by the pallet load from a person in Denmark where I believe it had been, laying fully dismantled  for at least 45 years. I was therefore even more surprised to find out, after contacting the UK DVLA to find it was in fact not just from a Douglas but one the was recorded as a still active 1930 Douglas, model not shown.

If the owner wants a souvenir of the origins of their bike, unless it was reissued as an age related plate, please reply and Ill sort it out for you.

Sorry about the delay in responding to your comment, I know that the plate is registered and taxed which is what I meant when I said still active. The DVLA also shows that the bike was first issued with this number in April 1992 though it possibly changed hands in July 2019. All this makes me think that it was issued with an age related registration number in 92.
