234 BVB (Bertie) Where are you?
Posted: Thu Mar 28, 2013 1:28 pm
I took my first Morris Saloon off the road in October/November 1984, when it failed its MOT on account of part of the floor falling out. I never got around to doing anything with it - house move, new baby, down to one salary etc.
I later sold it on to one of the Dustmen on the local collection run (late 1980s) who was going to make it into a convertible.
It is/was a 1964, 2-door, 1098cc saloon in Rose Taupe (but by this time sporting the two front wings and passenger door of my old Traveller, light blue/smoke grey(?), which never made the house move, but went in the opposite direction to a local scrapyard.
Recently, after going through all my old car paperwork and finding that three of the cars never got to be correctly notified to DVLA, as being scrapped, I went on-line and did the DVLA vehicle checks on all my previously owned cars.
Seems that 234 BVB is still on the "books", currently unlicensed and its date of liability is the date my original Road Tax run out in 1984! He must still exist somewhere - anyone know where?
