MY OLD CAPRI?

Post by sjc »

Some years ago,back in 88 when i was 18 i guess,i used to own a capri 3.0s.It was diamond white with a black vinyl roof. The reg is FVF 662T. A few years ago i tried to trace it as i wanted to do a resto.Would have been great to get the old car back again,but wasnt to be.
I contacted the DVLA who were as helpful as ever,and eventualy found out that the vehicle was on a sorn.So i was pleased at least it hadnt been written off or scrapped! But obviously they would not disclose any names or addresses.Eventually i purchased another 3.0s which is now restored. :D
It would be really great if anyone knows any info regarding the whereabouts or history of FVF 662T.

Also ANY HISTORY for the car iv just finished CGC 972X.
CHEERS!

Not good

The enquiry is complete

The vehicle details for FVF 662T are:

Date of Liability 01 12 1993
Date of First Registration 23 05 1979
Year of Manufacture 1979
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 2994CC
CO2 Emissions Not Available
Fuel Type Petrol
Export Marker Not Applicable
Vehicle Status Unlicensed
Vehicle Colour WHITE
Vehicle Type Approval

Vehicle Excise Duty Rate for vehicle
6 Months Rate £112.75
12 Months Rate £205.00

It is not showing as on SORN if SORNED it say so, not been officially scrapped.

Not been heard of for 17 years so not looking good, but stranger things happen.

I checked a few cars I have owned that I know were scrapped and they came back with similar details IE no clear sign they were scrapped.

All you can do is check the DVLA every 6 -12 months and see if the details change IE the SORN or Taxation. Dead is the reality though.
