 |
|
Hi from a fairly warm North Cyprus.
I used to own a 1953 A40 Austin Somerset Reg OLK 853. Sold it before we left the UK about 6 years ago.
I am just wondering if any one has seen it or know where it is now living.
Cheers.
Bill. |

Hi Bill,
You can type in a numberplate here, and it will tell you which car it relates to:
www.cartell.ie
Registration OLK853
Make AUDI
Model TT
Description QUATTRO (225 BHP)
Fuel Type Petrol
CO2 (g/km)* 228
VRT % Rate ** 36
The good news is that the Austin probably still exists, the bad news is that it will be difficult to track it down if you don't know the new reg.

Hi Richard H & welshrover.
Thanks for that. Would love to know why the guy sold the number plate. I was at a car show in the Birmingham area when i owned the A40, there was a guy going round asking us if we wanted to sell our registrations. I am sure he said mine was worth around £800.
Then again maybe the A40 has been scrapped.

You have just answered your own question.
Not sure what price you sold the car for,but the purchaser recouped £800.00 less fees from the purchase price.
