Getting desperate!
Still hunting KBX475. Sadly my 81 year old dad is getting more poorly and I would love to find the traveller before it's too late. I know it was recently SORN'd again. Any help hugely appreciated...
KBX 475 split screen 1953 early traveller bought new in Carmarthen S.Wales. Clarendon grey with red interior. Sold in about 1978. Help me bring her home!!
Thanks all Chris[frame][/frame]

Re: Getting desperate!
Have you contacted the "S11 Traveller Register" & the "S11 Saloon,Tourer & Traveller Register"?
Try Bryan Gosling, believe he started the former.

Further investigations uncovered it was an inside job!!

Re: Getting desperate!
Any joy ??
Re: Getting desperate!
It was actually registered on 23rd June 1954. Thanks I will try Bryan
Re: Getting desperate!
Hi there!
I run the Series 2 Traveller register, and sadly I haven't any details on KBX 475
Bryan handed the register on to me and all records from the early 1980s onward are on there now.
Al least if it is sorn on a regular basis, then it must still exist.
Good luck in finding KBX, but I am afraid I can't be of anymore help

Re: Getting desperate!
If it has been T&T'd within the last few years, testing centre number is quoted - maybe able to rough location via this - remember, persistence killed the cat in a golden basket!

Re: Getting desperate!
I don't think so. I think you'll find it is the MOT certificate number NOT the test station number that is quoted.POMMReg wrote:If it has been T&T'd within the last few years, testing centre number is quoted

Re: Getting desperate!
Not sure now, but I did a check on a Minor reported to me as being seen in (Perth?), using the number (what I thought was the test stn no.) came back as Dundee.ManyMinors wrote:I don't think so.

Re: Getting desperate!
Thanks guys. I don't think it's been T&T'd. I think the SORN has been regularly updated. This is the GOV link https://www.gov.uk/request-information-from-dvla
I am going to try them but an emotional search for a previous car is not listed as a reason to pass on details!

Re: Getting desperate!
Tell them that you have information on the early history of the car. That might swing it.
Good luck.

Re: Getting desperate!
Get a set of old keys onto a keyring and add a tag with the numberplate on it. Drop the keys off at the nearest police station with a note tied to it with your name and phone number saying "I found these in the carpark. Can you let me know if these keys arrive safely?". The police might get it sent via the last known address in the DVLA system, especially if you stick it in a package with a stamp on it.
Sneaky, but it might work.
