Go to the "my RAC" bit and register, you can then log in and start putting in the numberplates- its very addictive!!!!

Don't assume that all the cars listed there still exist - there are a couple on there I've scrapped in the last 18 months, carrying out the correct DVLA procedures.

Thats Cool!
My V reg 2cv sold 6 years ago is still registered, as is my old white ZX Volcane TD that I sold 4 years because there was so much wrong with it! Lets hope the new owners not on this forum!
Amazingly, my old Visa D F reg is still there too, should have kept that.

I spotted (and took photos with my mobile :p) a D reg white Visa 17RD in Bristol at the weekend, not seen one for ages! My first car was an E reg 17RD

Don't assume that because they're listed, they're still going.
I wrote off a car - a huge amount of damage, and it is still on there.
The date of the change of owner is correct ( me-insurance company ).

probably me... I love doing that, although yeah it is not a reliable indicator of if a vehicle is still on the road, but it can indicate the last time it changed hands!

Addictive - out of 17 cars and 5 bikes only 8 still remain on the road - most surprisingly of all is a Yamaha RXS motorbike - which has had a staggering 14 owners and last changed hands this August.

What a find - a great site! My BXTZD which I got rid of nearly three years ago is still with its new owner. A 205 which had one previous owner when I got it, and sold two years ago has just recently been sold again. But a '91 205 which was also a one owner when I got it in '94 and kept for seven years is now showing seven previous owners. I'd love to know the present mileage because the girl I sold it to commuted with it every weekend between London and Lille.

Fascinating that!
Nice to see the BX 1.9 diesel that I sold in 2000 is apparently still registered to the person who bought it after me. I’d spent quite a bit of money on it and was sorry to see it go really.
Very amusing is the fact that the old Vauxhall Carlton my dad sold with 150k on the clock in 1992 (because he thought it was knackered) is still going & has had 5 more owners since then!
My BX 1.6 doesn’t seem to exist anymore, [:0] which is worrying because I know exactly where it is (the garage at my mum's), and still have the reg document in my name. It has been off the road for a while now though.
