Anyone know of a 'K' reg BRG V8S in North Devon....?

Long time owner [12 years] used to go back and forth to London it, right now it has a private plate [and a VOSA check does not link it to it's V5 number...is that bad...???]

Its for sale - I drove it this evening, seems OK but it has two 'sheathes' on the exhausts which seem to subdue the burble a but

Fairly clean - chassis regularly waxoiled but looks a bit cruddy at the moment, fair bit of history...70000 miles....

£7500 for a quick sale [owners moviing abroad]

Any advice??

If that plate has been on a long time then the DVLA may not have the correct details, as until five years ago their database was appalling, now it's just bad... If the details haven't been changed for ages then nothing would have been fixed if there was an error.

Have a look at RAC Vehicle Data Search and see if that throws up the same details as you've been told...

I looked at that one myself and thought Hope it works out for you and that it sounded better de-sleeved

You looked at the same one...?
When was that then?
Both the DVLA and the RAC bring it up as the right car on its current personal plate....but the VOSA MOT records can't get it from both the plate and the V5 number...??????

Sorry, thought it was one I'd spotted on here, but having checked it was the same price and different colour...

The MOT system hasn't been computerised for long (can't recall dates), so perhaps it's not had an MOT since it's introduction?
