Thank so for the reply... yes I thought it a bit odd . Is there any way to find out if it has been scrapped. It wasn't in bad condition when sold to a dealer in Hayling Island about 4 years ago... I had previously had car for 25 years but sold due to divorce. I am keen to track it down but due to data protection have drawn a blank. I am hoping that someone here might have a lead! They are getting to be quite rare?
