Does anyone know whereabouts of AFL411B

Please could anyone let me know the whereabouts or the history of my first car which was a Trafalger Blue Morris Minor Convertible of which I unfortunally sold in the early seventies of a pricey sum of £185.00. Many Thanks. Gradon

According to the DVLA website not only I was able access vehicles details it also suggests the car has a valid SORN certificate untill 2011 so surely it must be holed up somewhere? Gradon

That's odd. I too entered the registration of your car into the DVLA website yesterday and got the same reply as faversham999, but today I get;

The vehicle details for AFL 411B are:

Date of Liability 01 04 2011
Date of First Registration 11 09 1964
Year of Manufacture 1964
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1098CC
CO2 Emissions Not Available
Fuel Type Petrol
Export Marker Not Applicable
Vehicle Status SORN Not Due
Vehicle Colour BLUE

I've noticed this before, and thought it was due to me mistyping the reg or not selecting the right manufacturer, but now I'm beginning to wonder if the DVLA system needs several enquiries about a vehicle that's been off the road for a while before it will access the correct information.
