I think I mentioned this in a thread some time ago but here I go waffling on again......
I tried this with the reg. of a car just like mine that belonged to a friend back in the mid 80's. NDP 78M was the reg, it was last taxed in the very late 80's, I forget the exact date, it could be sat in a garage or barn somewhere, but I guess its most likely razor blades by now.
I also found the chassis number for this car by using a site that is a "gateway to car parts" (don't want to add the link or full name as i'm not sure if its allowed) and found that the car that started my liking for Alfa's was built about 200 cars or so down the line from mine

.
(I know where my old Alfa is..... Its in the garage)
