Hi guys!

I am wondering if you could help me! my mum recently asked me if I could locate her old x1/9 for her, It is a car she holds many fond memories of, and still harps about today!only parted with it due to the birth of a child...

According to the DVLA it was last taxed in June 1999, was a blue 1500cc model with the registration MWL673W. I would be delighted to locate it, and if possible acquire it at some point.

Any info would be much appreciated!!

I will run a HPI search later and see if that shows anything up (I work in the used car trade so costs very little to do). It is possible the car is on a private plate, in which case it might be difficult to locate... or worse case scenario, scrapped

It was resprayed red and this colour was registered with the DVLA in 1997. 9 former keepers and the present keeper has had the car since 1998. No MOT details held by the DVLA at the moment. I wonder if it is a potential barn find Good luck, I hope you find it. A friend of mine has just bought his Mums old X19... found it in Ireland!

Have you tried contacting the DVLA? I know they wouldn't disclose the whereabouts for data protection reasons but if you wrote to them and asked them to forward your letter onto the current owner they MIGHT just be a little bit helpful for once?
