Hi Fiona
Wow!, I thought posting in the first place was a one in a million chance in getting a reply but that shows what I know.
The dates you've given seem to tie in with the last V5 issued and the car is SORN at the moment, although how thorough people are at notifying the DVLA of the SORN/scrapping status I don't know.
Many thanks for taking the time to reply and if I find out any more or course I'll contact you.
Thanks again
ian
