To get an old reg number there are various sources. Buy an old car but it must have a current MoT to remove the plate. From DVLA registration auctions - they publish the next batch on their website. You have to bid and they have a reserve and they are not cheap. DVLA do not sell age related plates such as D for 1966 or E suffix forn 1967 except those which are in the auction.
Private sellers and on Ebay have suitable numbers on retention certificates but many are expensive. I got my D suffix plate from the company which advertises in Practical Performance Car (Motor Marks) in their bargain basement section! which cost £150 plus Vat plus transfer fees. Many personalised plates fetch silly money with few letters and single digits being v v expensive.
Cheers
Mike
