vehicle info.

I've just looked up the details of a Series 3 109 I owned back in the late 'eighties & the DVLA site lists it as on Sorn with tax due in late 1991 & no MOT details on their system.
This fits with the circumstances in which I sold the vehicle following a write off, so the fact that the old girl is on SORN means it hasn't been scrapped? I was devastated when it was written off (rear end damage, probably repairable with a quarter chassis) I'd retrofitted a P5 engine in place of the original 2.6L & had plans for a respray.
Any ideas at all if it's possible to trace the vehicle ?
Thanks guys.

Sorn means it's probably "still around"

But i'm guessing it's either a pile of dust or in a million pieces i'ts probably sat somewhere, and been forgotten about..

Or the registration plate and logbook is still around, and waiting to be sold, was it anything special?

Waiting for a new VIN plate to be stamped and placed on another vehicle

Seriously all I know is you can maybe write to DVLA and ask to pass on you contact details.

Thank you for your interest & yes it was out of the ordinary, to me anyway. It was a 12 seater first regd. in 1979 by the AA who used multi-seat 4x4's towing trailers to 'relay' disabled cars & their drivers/passengers prior to the days when beaver-tail trucks became the choice. Originally factory fitted with a 2.6 engine it had a Fairy OD & had been 'blown over' in red, but the interior was untouched in AA yellow. With help from friends I transplanted a P5 engine (with Westlake head) which transformed the car in terms of both power & torque, outside lane cruising on motorways was entirely possible & on one occasion I wound the car up to 90 before my bottle went
I was going to overhaul the steering (typical series wander) have the car properly resprayed in LR green & fit a stage-one hood/grill as the P5 gave equal torque plus a good deal more power the de-tuned V8. One day, when I was away from home, some clown drove into the back of the LR (parked at the roadside) & nearly killed himself in the process, damaging the back & splitting the fuel tank. The fire service dealt with the fuel spillage, the plod had the old girl towed to the pound,
& after some argument I got a realistic pay-out from the insurance & kept the car, but had neither the storage or funds to have it repaired.
