Last night a registration number came to mind of a vehicle that had stood in a car showroom in Derby in around 1967 for over 2 years unsold. The firm who I worked for part time traded it to another garage where it stood for a long time before they moved it on. The vehicle seemed to do the rounds via the trade without finding a private owner for many years.

It was an a gold/brownish metallic Mercedes 300 SE Coupe with just a couple of thousand miles on the clock that had been traded in for a different model. The car was in good condition but we just could not find a buyer.

I did an MoT check on the vehicle today to find it is still around with only 14k miles on her in 2016 the current test expires in October 2017!

Then you sit there thinking, if I'd have kept this or that......

Did the same with one of my old bikes a few months back. Wish I still had her she must be worth more than the £45 I sold her for back in 1966 !
