XBD 384J - where is Sid now??

Post by koo »

Hi, can anyone help me find my old mog??. Maroon saloon reg XBD 384J
Was passed on to Ray when things got difficult financially and from talking to Ray I have learnt he went on the Jonathon at jlh minor restoration. J seems to think he was used for another project but who knows!.
Please help if you know where Sid is now. I have regretted my decision ever since but would be happy if i knew he has done ok.
Thank you
Kirsty.

Both beaten this time - I'd already sent the DVLA info.

I'd say it was taxed till end of May...

thanks everyone!. That's obviously as far as i can go with this unless the owner reads the message!. I would still love to know but I am happy that I at least have that much info.

Hmmm, have you noticed that it's apparently now purple!

I believe if you have a 'good reason' you can contact the DVLA and for a small price get the contact details for the current owner.

Sid was/is Maroon B, so purple or red is the closest DVLA will get.
