Thanks everyone, not 100% sure on where KERMIT was first registered, but will have a look into it @jivedubbin
i'm a bit nerdy with plates lol plus i knew you called your van ella so it rung a bell. LR is a north west london registration btw.
Yep, I can remember that much and it was F reg, but not the numbers, but I can remember the reg of the car my dad sold when I was 6 - 830 BUT, mk 1 Cortina.
@zedders it has got a chassis, it's even mot'ed, it failed on washers (air), rear lights (bad earth) front reg plate (polished up), ball joint dust cover (new boot) and brake binding ( fitting brakes all around) Need some welding in future (front steps and rear valence) A couple of holes in roof which I'm just patching for now so I can use it, as it needs new gutters so I'm running it for the next couple of years and ill start on the resto then!!!
