WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

#1 Post by paulie » Wed Jan 05, 2011 10:00 pm

HI ALL, I WONDER IF ANYONE CAN HELP, A CLOSE FRIEND OF MINE USED TO AN AUBERGINE MK2 CORTINA 1600E, REG No. TUS878G, HE STAYS IN THE KIRKINTILLOCH AREA, BUT I BELIEVE IT WAS SOLD TO SOMEONE FROM GLASGOW, I WAS JUST REALLY WONDERING IF THE CAR WAS STILL ON THE ROAD, IN STORAGE OR IN THE GREAT SCRAPYARD IN THE SKY. IF ANYONE HAS ANY INFO ON THE CAR , THAT WOULD BE GREAT, THANKS TO ALL, PAUL INGLEBY.

No need to shout!
Mr DVLA says:
The vehicle details for TUS 878G are:

Date of Liability 01 05 1999
Date of First Registration 01 07 1969
Year of Manufacture 1969
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1599CC
CO2 Emissions Not Available
Fuel Type Petrol
Export Marker Not Applicable
Vehicle Status Unlicensed
Vehicle Colour PURPLE
Vehicle Type Approval

It's possible it is hiding in a garage somewhere but as it has been off the road since 1999 i would guess it has been scrapped.
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

Or taken off the road for restoration and hasn't changed hands, hence no current liability date for SORN.
