Honda cb400/4

Samz:
1975 red Honda CB400/4. Reg.MVY683P.  1st registered 01/08/1975 in York.
Where is it now? Still alive?  Any info appreciated.

Samz:
So having posted this several years ago and not received one comment, I have just realised I listed the wrong number.  :-[ :-[ :-[  Should have been  MVY678P.  I went on the DVLA website to be informed that number is on a  white 1975 Vauxhall!  :-\   Strange.  So any how, my apologies.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
DVLA do sometimes re-issue registration numbers after a vehicle has been scrapped so I think the bike has gone to that graveyard in the sky.

My understanding is that you can't transfer a number from a bike onto a car so not likely to be a Cherrished Transfer, the rules changed in the 1970's when a Labour Government tried to stop such transfers.

I don't think that vehicle has adopted your reg number and therefore think your recollection of the exact number is incorrect. The car with reg.  MVY678P last V5 change was in 1981. I would have another think about the reg. number. A lot of 400F's are still out there lurking. They were so much loved that I don't think owners could bear to scrap them....so don't give up hope.

Orcade-Ian:
Ted, there was a time when you couldn't swap numbers between car and bike or vice versa but even that has changed - I have recently put the number from my GoldWing onto the Jag.  Did DVLA ever re-issue a scrapped number?, I always thought not.
