Yes, but i have known vehicles still registered on DVLA's website & they have been exported quite a time back so it's not uncommon for that to happen

a slitting disc :thumbs:
I was introduced to those a few years ago, they are a brilliant piece of kit only about 1.5mm thick and relatively cheap to buy. A must have accessory for your angle grinder! :thumbs:
AUSTIN - you can depend on it!

you have to be careful with them being so thin & chances of breaking

1mm thick I believe, I use them for final tidying when grinding as I find them more controllable

started on the rear apron which appears to have had an end section made which ties in with the damaged end of the chassis leg/bumper iron mount which i can only assume was due to towing something when it was the garage runabout & something caused the damage.
