thanks for the replies....

I suspect it's rusting in a heap somewhere or been crushed

I'll send off a V888 to Swansea to see if they will give me the last owners details but I suspect with data protection they wont...

do you remember who you sold it to?

afraid not... it was a long time ago but the guy was local.

A vehicle report on it says it has had 4 owners. So it had another hop since the guy I sold it to in 1987...

I guess I will have to wait until DVLA respond with a ya or nay on the last owner info.

I'm hoping its been stashed in a barn somewhere in Suffolk waiting for me to find it.

A friend of mine about 10 years ago located a 1959 mini in a barn in Norfolk. Chassis number 50. It's been rebuilt into a mint car now but was quite a find. Perhaps I'll be lucky.

The guy who had the mini was working on Alec Issigoniss lightweight special. Quite an experience to see a car that is part of the Mini history and automotive myth...

well its worth seeing if the guy still lives there,it may be sitting in his garage

Yet the DVLA will give out your info willy nilly to clampers and scammers.... pretend that the car is parked illegally on your property and you need to clamp it and they will give you the info pronto!

Well after "Thorpeys" post and my reply I had a eureka moment (doesn't happen very often.

There is a guy still at my works that has an X1/9 (its in a bad state) but its his daily runabout. This could be the guy I sold my X1/9 to originally in 1987.. he might have some details or he could be storing it somewhere..

I'll post a note on his windscreen tomorrow and see if anything comes of it...

thanks for all the ideas and grey matter prompting

I'll keep on the case and hopefully I will get a result one way or the other and let you know.

Cheers,

Terry.

No response back from Dvla yet.

Zip from the DVLA. Got a nice letter back but they can't help.

Due to the data protection act they can't give any names and addresses so unless it's uncovered in a barn or someone hears about it thats the end of it.

Don't you know a freindly copper?

would an hpi check tell you whether it has been scrapped or not? think you can get hpi for about a fiver online...

done an HPI check and it shows as not scrapped. However that detail is taken from the DVLA and up until recently there was no requirement for the owner to inform the DVLA if a car was scrapped....

so could or couldn't be scrapped. i reckon I will never know or find it!

well it has not been taxed since 1994 so i reckon its been scrapped
