I guess it gives you a chance to add them to the register too.

Registrations are
A111 SUC and A321 KKN

Both pretty special as. Am hoping they are 1983 motors the year I was born.
That's it....some people want privacy for there prized cars, so PM is fine, but on the Forum is fine too.

OK......Both are on the register already, SUC as Non Roadgoing (laid up) and KKN is in the Probable Scrap section, which doesn't appear on the uploaded Location List (See Spotter's Corner on here).

SUC first showed up in 2009 for sale in London and seems to have been in the same area since (not sold on?).
KKN first showed up only last month as a car with SUC.....in the absence of any knowledge about it I parked it (good pun there....see what I did?) in the file of Probable Scrap cars.....easy to lift it out into the main register once more info about it becomes clear.

SUC is definitely 1983; 9th Sept 1983 in fact.
I'm not sure about KKN as it's not found on DVLA, but most probably also 1983.

Hope that helps mate

Well they where both in the hands of a scrappy, and drifter from Kent.
He put them up for sale last month on social media.
And I bit on them, the seller turned out to be a friend of a friend. He did have a third one he gave to a friend of hit.
I will see if he has any info on that to add to the register.

One of them, SUC funnily enough has a tax disc in the window from 2009
Both have log books and the seller said he had them in dry storage for the past 5 odd years.

Rest assured I am hoping to get the, both back in the road at some point.

One is better externally but has some minor rot on the underside the other is better underneath but needs some welding on the body and sunroof.

Will get some pictures when back at work tomorrow
