TBF 429

Where are you now? I owned this car when living in Stoke-on-Trent and was sold to a nice couple from Somerset (I think) around 10 years ago. We have often wondered what happened to her!

Regards

DVLA have no record of it - at last not in the 'online' section. Are you sure the reg number is correct ?

TBF 429 is now on a Audi TT Quattro Convertible in silver if that helps at all!

Thanks for that guys. How sad that the plate has been sold on. This was my first Minor bought from a chap in Newcastle Under Lyme, it was his mothers and all she used it for was shopping. I bought the car in 1987 (ish), it had only done 50,000 miles and was well cared for, we did the same. Sounds like the car has gone to the minor graveyard. I will endeavour to find a photo and post it.

Just because the plate has been transferred doesn't mean the car no longer exists. It is more than likely still going strong but on an age related replacement numberplate.

WPR, yes I know that, I have sold plates before. But what a shame the car has been mutilated, it isn't the same car!!

I wonder if DVLA would trace it to the new age-related reg number for you ? It's worth asking!
