See the results for Pontiac here: /vehicle_1366794-Pontiac-Firebird-1968.html I only posted DVLA info for other information: date of first registration, is it exported or not etc -- Last edit: 2020-12-31 20:54:23
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2020-12-31 20:48	It still exists, and is currently (31/12/2020), in Germany. I am not about to disclose any further information as the Bentley Drivers Club would rescind my membership, which I have just renewed for 2021. The owner of the Vintage Bentleys website is wishing to retire and is interested to dispose of the intellectual property, etc. to help fund his retirement. The site is a little behind current developments, but he is to be commended for his work. Takeover opportunity here, Antoine? -- Last edit: 2020-12-31 21:11:24
