WHERE IS IT NOW? Try to trace your old car
Discussion
Old tread, but I was having a Sunday drive today. I stumbled upon my first car parked up in Dorking. I owned it 10 years ago. It's not it too bad of nick (One wing mirror cover was missing but that's it, I kept it a lot cleaner too), weirdly it still has PIAA wipers on it. If there the ones I put on it they would be about 5 years old now. And the old 106 owners club tax disc holder is still on it too.

Hi all, great little feature of the site I've just stumbled across!
I'm looking to regain ownership of my Grey Mk2 Golf GTi. I know the guy I sold it to ended up putting a VR6 running gear into it, and taking some of the desirable parts off to claw some money back. But, I would love to have it back.

Anyone know where it might be? It's not been taxed for a while so I reckon it's sat in a workshop somewhere.
Cheers,
Dave.

If it's not SORN, not taxed and no MOT, it's likely to have been scrapped, unfortunately Thanks

I received a message on another forum from a chap who'd bought my first Clio 172.
i bought it new back in 2003 and sold it after two years and with only 15k on the clock. The guy who's just bought it told me it's got over 100k on the clock and had some interesting MOTs but otherwise it's solid. He's planning on making it into a track car!

Love to know where my old Boxster S 3.2 2001 (Y908 WVA) - DVLA recent history shows it is still live. Low mileage in the last year... wonder if it is up for sale at a dealer? Pic attached on a trip up to St Andrews for a graduation. Loved that car!
