It did say:

This is all correct (I've owned it 13 years!!!! )

and one RS 2000 :
Vehicle details
Manufacturer Ford
Model ESCORT RS 2000
Body type 2 door saloon
Colour Black
Fuel type Petrol
Date manufactured 31 December 1979
Number of previous owners 11
Last owner change 30 June 1997
(This last bit will be changed soon, once the logbook gets sent off.)

The others haven't been on the road for years, so no tax or sorn has been applied for (all off the road since before sorn came in) so I reckon that's why they might not be on the RAC database.

[arron]

That's possible Rob, mine does not come up and it has been declared SORN.
