V600RSE is available too. V6 CORSE.
Not that many being built now or would qualify for a 2000 reg. but may be of interest to someone.
Not me any more......!

Nope, but a number of LBs have now been registered as 'new' so could use it I guess.

How about V657RAT? No trace on an MOT check, perhaps it's available?

My car was originally going to be a red stradale with no spoilers because I saw a VW Variant for sale in Liverpool with the plate BUC311T (I see now it's on a SORN'd Cadillac). There is (was?) an original Stratos BUC113T... Fortunately i managed to get PFY3T!

If you email the DVLA they will tell you if it's ever been issued. If not they will put it into an auction - they won't sell directly to you for some reason. Takes a while to happen though, 6 months+ in my experience.

I'm sure you're right about the length of time it takes... It's a money making exercise for the taxman, if you want it, someone else might so they auction to the highest bidder. I guess every penny helps reduce the deficit?

I managed to get STR 410S at DVLA auction couple of months ago I think it was a sleeper as only 2 bids. Haven’t even got the LB kit yet although delivery confirmed as imminent.

Amazed that that hadn't been taken before!

About as close as I could find at the time.

You'd think it's just a small change, but I've had a few people comment that the car seems to look better with this number plate. Bizarre :-)

Andy, they're probably adding the word "jacket" to that plate...after all, we all know only nutters drive Strats ;)
