My cortina hasn't seen the road since..well I don't know when, so it doesn't come under the SORN regulations. Can't remember exactly when it came in though

If it came off the road in 2000 you'll be ok .. When it next gets MOT'd and taxed thats when it kicks in..

 

You can check on DVLA site - if it says SORN due to expire then you'll need to inform them (can be done on line) If it just says liability 2000 for example then you'll be fine..

Yip of ot was taken off the raod before SORN it won't need to be sorn'd until after the next tax it gets runs out.

[prefectopop]

If you buy it, sorn it straight away, any liability prior to date of purchase will be that of the previous owner.

[peterbilt]

So long as he has proof of when he bought it and who from he should be ok tell him get a receipt

not had a reminder for mine since putting the logbook in my name

[crapichris]

I had a similar problem3 years ago, apparently if it was off the road before SORN started then it ain't SORN'ed therefore it ain't part of the 'SORN thing' so is exempt until the first time you re-tax it

right guys spoke to him this morning he went down to the man and the man has told him the car came off the road in 2000 and he has also said he hasnt has no tax reminder plus he hasnt had the new style logbook. so does ne 1 think this car may not come uo on dva records?

All will be ok m8 , if it had not been taxed since 1979 I would be wary of it still being registered, but at 2000 should have no probs

The DVLA computer was updated in 1975. If they argue about it, stick to your guns. Remember even if the previous owner had a car on SORN, it expires when it changes hands.
