Trying to trace an old car.Any ideas how - Retro
When I was a kid I used to see a Lister Jaguar XJ-S registration number A502 OFO on my way to college in Hereford.

Has anyone any idea on how I can legally trace it?

I have tried the club and club website without luck.

My interest in the car was rekindled when I bought an old car magazine at a car boot sale in the summer and found it was a roadtest vehicle in the eighties.

Any help greatfully appreciated.

I think recent changes at DVLA will allow you to trace a registration for a fee £2.50 I think. I have spoken to DVLA before and they were able to tell me that a particular registration was not a licenced vehicle on the phone no charge. Regards Peter

Why is it that the AA website says that its a Jaguar XJS but the RAC website says that the car does not exist.
Is the RAC website updated more regularly and do they remove cars from their database that have been scrapped?
