Cool, that would be awesome if you did have a pic dude!!
Have been trying to find it for ages with no luck, it would make things easier if the DVLA were more helpful although I can understand them not wanting to give out peoples details etc.
hi
yeah looked everywhere and no can find .the bugger is i know that number plate . the only bus i can think of is my friends that they bought in 95 for bugger all money and they did load of work on it and then sold it on as they bought a house but i could be wrong . if i find anything i let you know

Thanks for your reply. Would really appreciate it if you could keep looking into it, check with your mate and see if it was his and if poss who he sold it on to.
It would be great to track it down as it used to be owned by my Grandparents, my folks used to go on hols in it and I have vague memories from when I was very young going in it when my grand parents came to stay - which must have been mid to late 70's before they sold it.
Did a picture of the van appear in a motorcaravan magazine (MMM) a year or 2 back ? Remember someone had a pic printed in the mag trying to track a van down and am sure it was the same colour as that one. Have you asked the DVLA if they could pass a letter on to the current owner ?
I Don't know about the pic in MMM. I have tried the DVLA a few times with no luck, they don't like handing out peoples details for good reason I guess. I have one more Idea to try with them yet tho if nothing else turns up!! :coffeecup
I ended up having to tell a small fib to get the last known owners info from the DVLA. Went round to the address when I was next in the area but they had moved and the current occupiers didn't know them. Banged on the neighbours door who thought they had not moved far. Unfortunately they seem to be ex directory so no luck so far.
The info from the DVLA says it was last taxed in 1981 which doesn't sound good, would still like to know what happened to it. My grandparents probably only sold it in the late 70's and they always really looked after cars, it would have been garaged etc so it seems odd if it didn't last long after they sold it.
The last known address of the PO was in Bournemouth area.
If it was in excellent condition, sold and then never to be seen again, I'd be inclined to think it was either written off, stolen or maybe exported ??? I can't see it being scrapped after just a couple of years unless it was really abused.
But so many have gone the same way.......and it's just so frustrating to not know.
Thanks - I will have a look at home tonight I think I have a name and old address but the info is from 1983 so probably a little out of date.
