Treefrog, there is the following box on the online register-form:
"Check this box only if this is an update to your latest registry"
Simply update with the online registry-form (same as a new registration), check above box and write your cars registry number in the comments box.
I will update the registry with your new information.
However, the old information will stay there as well (forever). So the history of the car will be there all the time.
You can even register a car that was stolen and never recovered. Simply write the information in the comments box: When and where it was stolen, plus the other
important infos. This could protect someone from buying a stolen car, you never know. Or the car might show up some day.
