|
In the mid-1970's I owned an Austin 1800 S (Land Crab) that I loved dearly, however the fire brigade went out on strike and after nearly 10 weeks of no pay it decided to break down. I couldn't afford to repair it and had to let it go by exchanging it for a Mini Clubman Estate (the garage got the better part of the deal I can tell you!) as my wife & I lived outside Glasgow and I needed to get her to her work and home again every day.
On checking the RAC vehicle search data base for registration numbers (YGG 111 J) the car apparently still exists, but understandably it doesn't list the current owner or location - so my question is ........ does anybody here have a friend or even yourself that owns it?
Many thanks guys - you could make an old fireman's day if you can help locate it.

Phone the DVLA and tell them you need the owners details to send them a civil penalty notice

Hi Fireman, perhaps the reg is on another car
The reg for my car is older than the car.
