When a car is scrapped the reg number becomes 'dead', and remains with the DVLA until they decide to sell it.
Obviously, if it is a number which may be valuable, they will be more interested in marketing it.
I am not sure what the position is concerning numbers which are not in use, but also not designated for sale (some are offered online, some for auction), but if you go to the DVLA site, and follow the links to Registration Numbers, you will probably find the info you need.
If not, call the DVLA (the switchboard number is 01792 782341 - AVOID using the damnable 0870 numbers, DVLA made of £6 million on those last year!
They will put you through to the relevant section.
If you contact the various dealers, beware of scams and rip-off prices!!
The comment that it is illegal is absolute nonsense - DVLA have made MILLIONS selling old and new numbers.
I hope this helps.

Older automobiles do produce more beneficial emissions than new ones unfortunatley. Older automobiles have more beneficial characteer notwithstanding do pollute more beneficial. Scrapping an old automobile will get rid of intense emission automobiles off the line, will also enable the metallic/factors to be recycled (yet another eco-friendly difficulty.) also help the monetary gadget by using paying for a sparkling automobile.

And why would you want to do that? It is illegal.
