Thanks Doug, I did check on the DVLA site. I found an old wallet in the loft and on unfolding various bits of paper I found a notice from a police report from May '86 where I had reported a stolen Tax disc ( to stop me being fined while the replacement came through......which is how I found the reg number. I was on the way to work one morning and had just got to the other side of a set of traffic lights when from behind a car had tried to beat the red light...rear ended the car behind me which went into me and pushed me into the car in front. It was a nightmare with insurance as we all had to claim off the car that went into the back of each car, even though one car caused all the damage. The car was great fun..it was my 3rd car, the first being a Triumph TR7 coupe Auto and after the Blue mkiv Spitfire I bought a Spitfire 1500 which I stripped down and restored. I regret not buying that Mk3 GT6 oh well maybe soon. Just got to finish my Lotus Elan first.

Rumaging around this afternoon Found the Reg number of a 1300 Mkiv I owned back in 1985/6. i have fond memories of that car. It was rear ended and I sold it for £50 thinking someone may restore it....I didn't have the skills at the time but a few years later I did restore a 1500. Any way I do know the car is still around but does anyone on here know of it's where about, I'd love to know what's happened to it in the ensuing years. It's Blue Reg HOX 416L Thanks..
