Yesterday, I attended the funeral of an esteemed friend in the Cambridge area. Upon perusing the order of service, I was intrigued to see a picture from many years ago, depicting my friend alongside an Austin 7 that he owned as a young man. I am naturally interested to see if the car is still about.
Well, the good news is that it is on the register, with a comment stating "2013-Sep - Ex BA7C". Likewise, the DVLA record for it is still active. However, the tax status shows as "Not taxed for on road use", which is the sort of thing that can set alarm bells ringing for me, as it ought to be SORNed if it's currently not on the road. Occasionally, when the DVLA record doesn't seem quite right, I've found it's a sign that a vehicle has gone abroad without the DVLA having been notified.
Anyone have knowledge of this Seven? I'd love to know. Many thanks!
