Track Down Your Old Car! Find Out If It's Still Around
🚗 Find Out Everything You Can About A Used Vehicle

If you do get a result, take a look at the date. If it's wildly out from when your car was around then disregard it.

British Newspaper Archive

As you can see in the above example, the article result is from the year 1900. If your car isn't from 1900 (we'll assume it's not!) then you probably won't want to see the newspaper article. If however you get a result for when your car was around, then you may want to see the newspaper article.

The Archive is great as it allows you to view 3 newspaper pages for free before you have to pay. Just set up a free account and choose pages wisely.
