Well it's not much help with mine. It seems to know the colour but the
make comes up as "Unknown" or "Other British Makes" and the model as
"Other (sports)" or "Other (coupe)" although they're both the same
type of car. It can't give me any of the wheel and tyre data and it
won't let me enter 10" wheel size. Bit of a dead loss really!

Even if it does - it gets the tyre size wrong for 'erselfs car.

Anyway - www.cardatachecks.co.uk gives more details.

In one word, "Useless".

It can't help with any of my cars.

Are you suggesting there is something suspicious about a database that
still happens to have long-since scrapped cars in it?
