Allow all unused registration plates to be sold by DVLA

The idea

I recently contacted DVLA to ask about purchasing the registration for my first car, which would have been long scrapped and was told that this was not possible.

It seems to me that a change in regulation would allow people like myself to purchase a cherished number, when otherwise I would not be interested in something like this.

Why is it important?

A Positive thing for purchasers on a personal basis.
