Sarah45 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I’m trying to trace my old car. Mk1 1974 5 door ford escort. First reg in April 1974. Olympic Blue. Last taxed in 1995 which was when I sold it. Would love to know what happened to it. Was nicknamed the chrome machine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Highly unlikely to have been laid up for 24 years tbh.I'd say it's either swiss cheese, parted for a kit car or in a museum somewhere.Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Heaton Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I'm guessing you don't know the reg? DVLA does go back a long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 DVLA won't give general public any details since the GPDR thing. I guess you could claim to be a private parking company though... Do you remember where the next owner lived roughly? If it stayed on the East Coast, there's a good chance someone on the East Coast Retro Facebook group may know where it is or what happened to it. I assume you know the reg or some distinguishing features though, just the colour probably isn't going to be enough info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Heaton Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 You can still get not and tax history. Askmid will show current insurance. So at least you'd know if it was still on the roads in the UK It's worth looking on howmanyleft.com too just for the numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
