Just looked up some of my old motors (well, most of them) for a laugh. Some quite surprising results:
- 1993 T16S 'vert, sold July 2007 with 220k (ish) on the clock, fresh respray but some potential rust issues underneath:
Still on the road, date of liability 01/02/13, ie just been taxed! Well pleased about this. Anyone here? L349CPD.
- 1996(P) 9000CSE, sold September 2000: Date of liability 01/03/2007
Great car it was, too.
- 1991(H) 900i 16v. Details not found. Was in excellent nick when we sold it in 1999 though. H286NCF, anyone?
- 1993(K) 900SE, LPG'd with leather and air-con. Also details not found
K992UDD
- 1974 96V4, date of liability 01/06/2012
... and the non-Saabs:
- 2003 Aprilia Atlantic 125, sold July 2007: date of liability 04/04/11, ie no longer with us. Shame, it was a great scoot. New exhaust, belt and rollers when I sold it, too.
- 1990(G) Pug 405. Sold in 1998. Amazingly still on the road until 2001, according to the DVLA. What a shed.
- V-reg Espace, written off in 2005, appears to still be on the road and taxed until June!
- X-reg Prius with some nasty front end damage - sold on eBay for spares but appears to be taxed until September.
Can't remember the reg number of my old 960, but I suspect it went to the scrappy with a dropped exhaust valve.
