nicam Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) Hi everyone, I was an OMOC member for many years until I sold my Manta A 1900 SR Auto in around 2001ish. I was lurking around this site and saw a post in the wanted section "I want my Manta A back" and I thought, Yes I do as well. I have checked on the DVLA system and it is SORNed and last MOT`d in 2013. So, big Question - does anyone know of, or even better own, SBV 748K and might it be for sale to a pining previous owner. I remember it going to Norfolk area way back then. Here`s hoping. Thank you, Nicam Edited September 16, 2016 by nicam date corrected 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robah Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Welcome back to the forum/club, good luck with your search and I hope you find the car and the current owner is willing to part with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicam Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 Thank you Robah - I admit it is a bit of a long shot but well worth trying. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicam Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 I have just checked on the ASKMID site and the car is not currently insured. Perhaps that is not a good sign as I am sure that most people would keep some sort of cover on a car even when it was garaged / being restored / just resting!! It seems odd that there have been no sightings / knowledge of SBV748K over the last 15 or so years. Thanks to everyone for reading this.

I would also guess that if the car is insured on a laid up policy it wouldn't appear on Askmid, as it's not insured for the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicam Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 I have just found out that it last changed hands ( by the fact that a new V5 was issued ) in July 2013, which ties in with the SORN and the dropping of the insurance. I`ll keep investigating and see if anything turns up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicam Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 I`ve just discovered that if you cross the palm of the DVLA with silver (well £15, I believe) and a good reason for wanting the information, they will give you the owners details! Worth a try! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
