I am trying to find out if my late father's Moggy is still on the road somewhere. He bought it new in 1963 and kept it until around 1982. It is still showing on the DVLA website but I can't work out if it's still on the road.
If anyone can offer any information, I'd be most grateful

Re: XHH 590 Green Traveller
The DVLA info suggests that it has not been used on the road since 1982.
It may still be in someones collection awaiting restoration or it may have been exported and not recorded.

Re: XHH 590 Green Traveller
If you check on the DVLA website under car road tax, it shows that this car last had a new V5 document issued on 24 02 1982 - perhaps when your Father sold it?
For the car to be used legally on the road it would have to have current road tax. The last road tax appears to have expired at the end of January 1984, so it doesn't look as if the car was used on UK roads for more than a couple of years after it was sold.
It IS possible that the car still exists in somewhere in some form but it is probably unlikely after all this time.
