My last brown log book was so full of ownership changes that it had a piece of paper stapled into it to hold the additional owners. Sent it back to Shannon and a fresh new brown log book arrived out, along with the old one. They don't switch your reg number over unless you request it. That was 5 year ago or so btw.

If importing before the current series of numbers was introduced in 1987 they used to just give you the next number due to be issued in your county.
So a ten year old car would have the consecutive number to a brand new one.
New numbers would not be issued just because a copy log book was required.
As others said the same applies now.
You should consider photo copying the old logbook because it is part of the history of the car.

Can't change a ZV reg - you can go from a year plate to ZV, but not the other way around

Those are for imported cars. Cars with original Irish number plates are more sought after than (the equivalent car) with imported plates

I know, but I think that’s what OP was suggesting
