I'm unsure if that is the original colour. Someone dyed it black and when they restored it did they make it Fawn or Caramac Diarrhoea?

Tax was due April 2009, so at least 10 years of no use

These have been abandoned around the corner from me for years. The BMW seems to move around the parking area, but no further. The others never move. Not sure if the BMW is genuinely German registered but if so it’s come a very long way (I live in Mexico). They’re also abandoned in a very expensive part of town: the spaces they’re sitting in would rent for more than an entire house would in the suburbs. All very strange.

I though that the DVLA web site only gave details of MoT's done since 2005? In which case as this was first registered in the UK in 1997 it may well have had MoT's between 1997 and 2005.
