TZP496 Mini City 850cc, where is it now?

[Paul_K_94]

My Dad was telling me about the mini he bought brand new in 1980. It was a blue Mini City 850cc. He told me he seen it not that long ago, and I was just wondering is this car still about? And if it is, where abouts is it and has anyone got any pictures of it? Thanks for the help in advance

Where was the car located Paul,I know ZF is a Cork reg but it is a big county.It takes us about 3 hours to get out of it on MTM.

I think TZP is a Donegal registration. It might be worth contacting Donegal County Council in Lifford as they would be able to check to see if its still on the road.

Ya, ZP would be donegal county, and then the T would stand for the year.

The bulbs must be getting dim,I read it as ZF instead of ZP.

No record of it on Vehicle check system, must be off the road a long time.

Yeah it was a donegal reg. Awh well it was worth a try, he was telling me about it he said it was the best car he ever owned as it was so basic and nothing ever to go wrong with it and he gave £2000 for it brand new in 1980, just would have been nice to hear if it was still going or if anyone had any pictures. Thanks anyway lads
