Does your (or your parents') old car still exist?

by Butterfield Yesterday at 3:05 am

Thanks to the wonders of the internet and the government's exciting MOT database website (that I've been using for a few years), which lists every single car that has been on the road (at least from the 70s onward), I've just discovered that the registration of the first car I remember my parents having when I was a very young child - a 1976 Chrysler Avenger - is still in existence - minus the original car which is presumed scrapped decades ago - and is now being used on a 2021 Land Rover Discovery Sport. What a Face

I won't tell you what the registration is - much as I'd like to - but I've long thought my parents should have kept it and transferred it onto subsequent cars as it was quite a unique registration with only one number before the suffix letter rather than the usual three, and is likely now very valuable as it also almost forms a known surname. evil

The database informs me that only my last two cars out of the eight I've previously had are still around. Sad

Here is said government database for anyone who wants to check the status of any cars present or past:

That might be a government trap, to gather data linking IP addresses to past car ownership.

I don't have a clue what the numbers of any of our cars were. bawl

I know they were all second hand, though.

I looked up my old one, and I think it's gone, the MOTs were getting worse towards the end.

I only knew the reg number cuz I found the pics from when I sold it.

I can remember the registrations of all of my old cars and most of my parents' cars going back to the 80s. I'm better at remembering the letters than the numbers though.

It's (almost) worth it the amount of fun I've had with looking up our old cars. box

My Mum has very owned a car.

Someone told me my Dad had a Fiat Panda once.

That's all I can contribute to this thread.

I can remember the plates of the two cars we had 1975-1984, but none before or after. Even their current car I can only remember the letters.

As to my own vehicles I can only ever remember the current one.
