Hi All,

I was talking to my aunt today and she was telling me she owned a BGT back in the day. We were wondering if it was still around, so I said I'd ask on here to see if anyone has any leads. I had a quick look over the Register Gallery but couldn't see it. Should be a photo attached but just in case the Reg No was UBW 555G.

She told me a story of driving it to Germany, only for someone to crash into it and her having to come back and get it repaired/resprayed.

Thanks in advance for any info.
Jon.

As Steven says ,last MOT in 2014.

Looking through MOT history to that point at DVLA ,i think the speedo was changed 2009 /10 as MOT in 2009 showed 99682 mileage,

2010 MOT showed 3975,2011 4005, 2012 No MOT, 2013 4500 & 2014 5410 suggesting fun(?) use only . The car may have since been re-registered as

Historic with the owner deciding to dispense with MOTs as then permitted.

Cheers

Hi guys,

Thanks for the info and for taking the time to look, hopefully it's being looked after.

The listing is great to see especially even if it is a bit old I'm sure my aunt will be pleased to see it.

Just thought that I probably should have named the original post with something including the REG....oh well, live and learn.

Cheers all, Jon

If its on the road it has to be taxed. Its just that the fee is zero pounds if its historic.
