Wow! My old Lancia Delta HF Turbo (f reg) is still going strong! So to all those who reckoned it would rust away before I'd had it for a year

I wrote off a bike in 1998. I personally threw most of the bits in a skip. Only the engine and back wheel survived. It has had 4 owners since

Maybe it's a stolen car masquerading as your old one

No I haven't.

It was changed from private plates when we bought it but I don't see how that should cause any problems.

Did it have privite plate from new? then issued a new plate when changed? DVLA might not of updated it... not sure why it would not show. unless it been classed as a write off or Scrap. Not 100% sure how it works.

I will see if my friend still can get the reports free. if so i will PM you.

Private plates throw a right spanner in the works when it comes to car databases. That explains it IMO.

There doesn't seem to be a problem with the DVLA or anything so you're probably right.

MY old K plate golf changed owners 3 weeks ago.
I can't believe it's still going, it was knackered 4 years ago when I had it!
