I don't think that site's quite right. My old Ash tray had 11 previous owners before me. I sold it to my bro in law in 2000 (who had it written off in 2001), but the site said it's had 8 owners and last sold in 1998

No record for my first 2 cars. Seems my 206 GTi has morphed in to a 206 GLX 5 door Hatchback, although the colour is still correct

Odd, can't seem to enter my old plates correctly; seems to work okay with the new style.

For example, JPE 207V doesn't work (my first car).

Maybe if they've been scrapped there are no records?

That's a crying shame, my old Beetle VRA *** K is not coming back. Damn thing was completely rebuilt by the time I'd finished. Sold it about 15 years ago now. Mind you it was a tad skitish in the wet with an upgrade from a 1300 to a tweaked 1600

what was that program 'suprise suprise' with cilla black...

'you haven't seen your uncle tom since 1995, well here he is'...

imagine doing that to some of your old motors.

'you thought you wrote off that renault 5GT back in 1991, well some shady fly bast*rd glued it back together and here it is....'

If your car doesnt show up - is it possible because its not taxed?

Would be well pissed off if I though my last Impreza has gone to heaven, as it was one of the first STI's ever made. I spent loads on it as well.

Tried some cars I know are gone to heaven with no return, and one I thought had gone still shows as running about - worryingly!

I was my old beetle's 14th owner. It doesn't show up because I lent it to a mate & he killed it

It mustn't show untaxed motor's because I know there's **** all wrong with my XR4x4 , but it doesn't come up when I put the reg no in
