Re: Newbie looking for help and information / early S1

Have you asked if there were any family photos of the car ? It must have been quite a thing to take delivery of one of the early cars so perhaps it might have been recorded on film for posterity ? The old boy did not have much of a family and was a bit of a recluse according to the representative w...

Re: Newbie looking for help and information / early S1

If the owner of the car during the 1970s, when DVLA took over registration of vehicles from local authorities, didn't send details to Swansea it is possible the car has 'lost' it's original reg number.

Re: Newbie looking for help and information / early S1

Enter just the car number in top field, then press find this car button. Shows who you bought it from? and shows a reg number (I think!)
