If you have any specific vehicle histories you would like me to prioritise getting posted to this site, or if you have any news, photos, corrections or updates to any data on these pages, then please email me at rob@robsly.com. Please be patient because (as I'm sure you can imagine) this is a monumental task.

OTHER CUSTOMERS

Can anyone help with data for the VRLs which were exported to the two South African operators? Any information would be very gratefully received at rob@robsly.com. For now I am assuming that they have all been scrapped, as is indeed very likely.
