Yes,

The vehicle details for VUV 322G are:

Date of Liability 01 04 2008
Date of First Registration 18 10 1968
Year of Manufacture 1968
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1293CC
CO2 Emissions Not Available
Fuel Type Petrol
Export Marker Not Applicable
Vehicle Status Unlicensed
Vehicle Colour BLUE

So, the tax ran out in April 2008 and she's not been on the road since.

Hmm- odd that it's not on SORN then. The owner would surely get an automatic fine - or has scrapped the car - and it's still hanging on in the data base.

1275 engines are often rebored to 1293, for some reason the standard +020 rebore is actually +018

It may add 18cc (if that's what you mean) - but a 20 thou rebore IS 20 thou larger than standard!
And I think a 1293 engine is just a +10 thou overbore anyway!
