That explains a lot to me as well. My Nova is on an F plate and was sorn when I bought it. Having now owned it for a few years I was getting a little bit concerned that I had never had any sorn reminders. This explains why.

My other project (a Capri) has been off the road since 1996/7 and no longer appears on the DVLA database. I wonder what will happen when I put it back on the road - will I be able to simply MOT and tax it again or will I have to jump through hoops to prove it's existance is real? (Fortunately I have a full history including MOTS all the way back to when the car was only three years old and of course the old style registration document)
