2500M MTU 99L

[Henry Harris]

I notice from the taxdisc website that this car is no longer taxed. It was mine in the early 1970s and was blue. It is now registered as red.

Does anyone know what happened to it?

Thanks in anticipation.

Hello
maybe this picture can help...
I'm the owner of this 2500M from 1972. It seems to be the fith to have been built as the register number is 2244TM.
I can tell you that the first color was "mediteranean blue" afaik.
I don't know if the plate had changed between your ownership and this number shown on the picture.
I can search in all the papers i have, but i don't know the story before 1980.
Kind regards
Jay

Hi Jerome,

Thank you for your post. I bought my 2500M new in 1972 just prior to VAT. I used to live in Timperley sour of Manchester. I think I owned it for several years driving around the local area on business before the motorways were built. I sold it when I moved to Clanfield near Portsmouth when I only needed to commute to Cosham.

Here is a photograph from the old days. I am the bearded one at the back. In Sprint July 2014, in the articles on old Sprints, I appear on the cover of Sprint No: 19 July 76.

Jaydom... Your front indicator/side lights are on the wrong sides/upside down.

The most unhelpful comment ever.

Anybody recognise the other folk in my photograph?

If it's not your car, how can you state it's unhelpful...... I don't believe I was being rude, however I felt you have been.

Let's move on, and help with this vehicles history.
