Due the type of reg it is that plate would have been registered to a vehicle from new and not available as a private plate, so would only be on the car frrom new unless somebody had retained it.
With the car being circa 1985, it has probably been scrapped, and therefore not really much chance of you getting it.
Sorry mate.

Mark, what special meaning has the D985 got? If it's nothing, get another MGR suffix plate.

Would just make your Corsa look like its D reg anyway. Before anyone says it I know Corsa's were'nt around on D reg.

Retention is where someone owns the plate but doesn't have it on a car!

but as said with it been of normal format it is likely to have been registered to a factory car at first registration
