Is my old car still on the road??

[sarah]

After talking about my mk2 Astra GTE, I thought I'd have a look and see if she was still on the road.....turns out there is no information held anymore for her So I can only guess she's in the scrapyard in the sky.

I just went on the site below, typed in the reg and make, then found out it's tax/MOT status, if any...

Strange how my 2005 Astra Sri is MOT'd but hasn't been taxed since July?? It's not sorn so maybe they're driving around without tax?

Cant find my old Firebird, but it did go out of the country, but I heard it came back. Who knows...

If it left the country, the reg number it had before would not be what it has now.

Cool site that, I found my old 1978 Transam SE and it's SORN with the MOT running out last year so at least it's still around.........bless it.

Paul, was it you that mentioned you saw my car back in the country?

It was brought by a guy who came from Manchester, but was working in Slovenia on aircraft engines. He took the car out of the country, not sure for how long, if its like the rules here he could drive it there on a visitor type arrangement for 6 months before having to register it in the country. Good job I knew the car was a good runner, if I bought a car, and drove it 1200 miles into another country, not really knowing history I would be a bit worried, so he had a lot of faith in my pride and joy.

What was the number plate? Good chance we will have seen it around.

F552 VVC on the front
F522 VVC on the rear. Although F522 VVC is the correct number plate on the paper work.
It was metalic purple.


Although when i last went to Bovingtoin it was gun metal grey. I only have it for about 18 months once it was purple.
