Late L reg 240’s
Anyone have one of the late L reg GJO cars? Was they the last ones to be registered in the uk? We have L499 GJO.
I was offered about 10 years ago I think maybe L490 GJO, it had done about 130000 miles and the owners in Scotland had bought a v70 to replace it and it was sitting in their barn under a dust sheet, I wonder if it’s still there. I would like to buy it, anyone know if it’s whereabouts? I know it’s a long shot lol. I’m going to have a look for their telephone number, as I think I kept it, also a long shot I know as they may have moved in that time! But I would be interested if anyone knows anything about the cars as they were clearly all registered at the same time with consecutive numbers, mostly blue, which ours is. |

The DVLA website shows that the last MOT expired on 27th September 2008 so it may still be under the dust sheet ?? Dave

I tried some other numbers, and surprised at how many there actually are! I thought there was about 20 of them, but probably nearer 100, interesting to see the last mot dates and mileage’s, a lot stopped in 2008, most around 170000 miles. I found only a couple over 200000 miles, the highest 280000 miles, but said the same mileage on the last 4 or 5 years so probabily into the 300000s, with a speedo not working. Probably maybe 9 or 10 still going. |
