UPL 973

spiralwildchild · Feb 18, 2006

Hi. Im trying to find the Commer that used to belong to my
grandparents, just to see how its getting on.
They sold it from their home in Warlingham, Surrey, about 5 years ago
maybe. It had been sitting in the garage for 30 years.
Their surname is Jones.
Its pale blue/turquoise. Dont know what the reg is.
If theres anyone on here that knows of its where abouts i'd love to
hear from you.
email me on [email protected]

Many thanks.
Sian

By the way, what does 'last liability date' mean?? [?]

commerchris · Jan 30, 2008

I think it's when the tax runs out ?
