This is a very very long shot, but it would be nice to know if there is still a particular moggy out there. She was a split screen 50's job and went by the registration MUS 647, affectionately know as "musty". My mother has fond memories of the engine being decoked by her father on the kitchen table!
Is it still out there, or has it gone to the scrapyard?
cheers,
Youngun

i have checked on the dvla website, and they have no record of that reg number. are you sure the reg number is correct? if it is then I am afraid the car may have passed away a long time ago...

Yep, MUS 647 was the correct reg number
Ultimate rust cure for your moggy....paint it brown, at least that way you dont notice the rust as much!!

It is called a lexus for a very good reason. I know the answer, does anybody else?

Now that I have had me tea, the reason it is called a lexus?
If you paid £30,000 plus for a car, would you really want TOYOTA written on the back?

great!
Some Lexus' are actually very good cars. Its a shame though that most of the new ones are just Corolla's in drag!
