Ho guys and girls, I'm new here and I'm trying to track down my Dad's old Beetle, it was a 'Big' Beetle. PAM 244M and has just been added to the register http://www.thedriverfamily.co.uk/BigBeetleRegister/showRegister.php He owned it probably from 1978 - 1983, this picture is from 1979! It is declared SORN, and when I checked the DVLA site before SORN become perpetual again, it was last updated SORN in November 2013 - so someone has been making the effort to update the DVLA annually (info below). VRM: PAM244M VIN Serial Number: 1342214703 Make: VOLKSWAGEN Model: 1303 BEETLE BodyType: SALOON Colour: GREEN Date First Registered in the UK 14/01/1974 Year of Manufacture: * Transmission: UNKNOWN Engine Number: AS054113 Engine Capacity: 1600 Fuel: PETROL Date of First Registration 14 01 1974 Year of Manufacture Not Available Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1600cc CO₂ Emissions Not Available Fuel Type PETROL Export Marker N Vehicle Status SORN in place Vehicle Colour GREEN Vehicle Type Approval Not Available Vehicle Excise Duty rate for vehicle 6 Months Rate £123.75 12 Months Rate £225.00 I've contacted the DVLA before, so I can't really go back to them pretending I own it etc. etc. Can anyone recommend any good owners clubs / places to start the search? Thanks!
