LindseyH Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 I'm looking for the current whereabouts of a red, 1964 Mark 1, registration number BRU 566B. I wonder if anyone on here can help? I have a photo of me with the car - my father's car at the time - probably taken at the end of November 1964 or early 1965. My father has recently died and I'd love to see this car again. I believe the car is still in the UK (I'm in southern England). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 Hi Lindsey, welcome to the forum. Things don't look good for the car. There is no record of any recent MOT tests or SORN on the DVLA computer or the Auto Smart app. It may be lying in a barn waiting to be reawakened or, sadly, no longer be around.

dougbgt6 Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 Lindsey, unfortunately dvla web site reveals it ran out of tax in 1984. This was before sorn, but these days they have to be taxed or sorn. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindseyH Posted October 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 Thank you all for your replies - much appreciated. That's a real shame, but I see what you mean. It does sound like it's probably gone to that great scrapyard in the sky. At least I have a photo of it. Is there a possibility that it could have gone abroad, and that would be why it 'disappeared' from the DVLA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 Yes possible, abroad could be as close as the Isle of Man or Ireland. There’s a red mk1 on Fleabay at the moment, a £900 project, if you fancy it! 😀 Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
