I sold my old Icelandic grey VTS 2 1/2 years ago and recently checked on a website to see if was insured and it isn't which makes me think it has been written off.
It was a MK2, lowered 50mm on apex springs/dampers with a K and N induction kit registration KP52 WTA.

I miss it and hate to think it has been killed!

A little off topic..

But, when my dad was like.. 20.. he had a sports car..

We saw it on a website last year (like.. 25 years later..) And it still races about! Unbelievable!

But no.. i haven't seen your car <3

Which one? I checked ASKMID and it is not insured which is what made me think it was written off.

Just had a quick check and the plate is not currently insured. Might be SORN or something or the current owner might have put a private plate on?

Chances are though knowing saxos, its dead :sad:

I'm hoping it's on a private plate but I feel it is no longer with us :(

If it had been written off it would say null on their database.

It's probably sitting in someone's garage.

My mum's old G reg Fiesta is on the DB showing as untaxed, I can't believe that is still around but is showing on the database (not insured either)

AndyZS

But the Fiesta shows NULL in the type approval, so is written off?
There is hope yet then for the Saxo, maybe it is a track beast now?!

Cars I know which have definately been written off say Unlicensed but Vehicle Type Approval null, which that one doesn't.

So yes maybe it's being transformed, but it should really be SORN.

Thanks for your help, there is hope it is still around although possibly being driven with no tax/insurance by some scummer!
