Conrad D. Conelrad Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I was just e-stalking my old motors on the MOT history site, and noticed the Colt of Many Shiters has dropped off the radar. The MOT expired last August, and the tax website returns 'no details found'. At least nine of us had our names on this car's V5. How did its story end?

Dick Longbridge Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I was just e-stalking my old motors on the MOT history site, and noticed the Colt of Many Shiters has dropped off the radar. The MOT expired last August, and the tax website returns 'no details found'. At least nine of us had our names on this car's V5. How did its story end? Checked and tax appears to have run out in November 2017. It seems to have been SORNEDED since. Last owner change August 2016.Sounds like it’s still potentially in one piece?

Conrad D. Conelrad Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Well, I think from all the information above, it either exists or it doesn't, and it burns oil if it does. Based on this, and the "details not found" from gov.uk, I'm guessing it's gone to the big 1980s in the sky. somewhatfoolish, Dick Longbridge, Jim Bell and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I think Kiltox was one of the last. He sold it to someone on here (I forget) and there was something that had a catastrophic failure. I think burning oil in a big way?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angrydicky Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Nyphur sold it to RobT who promptly drove it straight to Southend to visit me and the Sierra base. That would have been 2016? It was in desperate need of a pair of rear arches but was otherwise a tidy little thing that drove well. Don't know who had it after Rob. A shame if it's lost it's life, particularly at the hands of a shiter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltox Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Last known custodian was castros_bro - it suffered some kind of failure and despite offers to buy it back it seems to have gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Indeed. Here it is the day after I bought it in Portsmouth. And here it is two days after I bought it at the Fast Car Festival, Donington Park. Next to Ratdat's Nissan Cherry Europe. And here it is being ignored later in the day, next to a Vulcan.

captain_70s Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 This will remain in my heart as one of the cars I entered a roffle for and genuinely wanted to win... On the flipside I'm glad I didn't win it and have to deal with it exploding on me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorniteIdentity Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Is it still around? It would be a shame for it not to help another live. I remember bits being impossible to get so I’m sure it’d be invaluable to some poor sod somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltox Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Would be worth putting an engine in imo There were a stack of parts with it when it left me and I think I still have some too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Was a 1500. Castros_bro didn't explicitly say but I would imagine it is now a fridge freezer. Did you explicitly ask? Dick Longbridge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
