Thank you edmundator, appreciate your comments.the edmundator wrote: Thu Feb 28, 2019 11:23 amAs I said above, the records held by DVLA aren't accurate. You've included COJ 559V in your list, but this is registered on the logbook as Volkswagen Coupe (not even Scirocco).silvermyn wrote: Thu Feb 28, 2019 11:10 am
There were two 1979 examples where I couln't find any information. I'm discounting the following cars which were mentioned in this thread from the list above:
1. FPF 623V - registered 02 November 1979 and appears to be a GLI model
If Marshall says his car FPF 623V is a Storm, then I would believe that it's a Storm. The same for the FPF 702V, which I know has been scrapped, but was definitely a Storm.
There is a photograph of COJ 559V on page 2 of this thread. It is definately on a MK1 Scirocco. The badge on the back is a Storm badge although it doesn't appear to have the right frontspoiler. The spoiler could have been damaged and removed. But if you know it's not a Storm I'll discount it.
In respect of FPF 623V, your post at the top of page 3 states that "I was sold this as a GLI, but it is not unknown for Storms to be called GLI on the logbook. It is the right colour for a Storm and has the front spoiler and a black leather interior, although I have no idea how much of it is original." If you're now saying that it's definately a Storm, regarless of what the logbook states or uncertainty about its originality, then I'll take it as read.
FPF 702V was first registered on 16 January 1980 so doesn't belong on the list of 79's.
Are you aware of any 40th event for the Storm or do members not generally bother?
