Don't worry I want to keep it standard as possible so the exhaust change is probably going to be the most drastic as prices seem to be shooting up with these RS models. Previous owner added the recaros:



Not surprised you loved it it's great fun to drive! Out of interest when did you own it?
Thats funny, I don't think it had them last year so maybe the last owner didn't have it for long. It was difficult to sell when I had it without the Recaros, but I never had a problem with the standard seats.

I had it in 2015!

Anybody on here have my old Series 1 RS Turbo? C171 CBU.

I was gobsmacked to see it in the background of an advert for a Ford event in Yorkshire(?) last year. Been off the road for ages and recently popped up as being MOT'd and taxed.

Would love to see any pics and hear of any restoration that's been done.

Cheers
Mark

I'm looking for my old Austin Mini 1961 originally registered in Cyprus. UK registration number is 15 GYE. It doesn't turn up on the RAC or government licence plate checker.

Absolutely choked that after years of searching, my old red Cooper S that I owned from 2004 to 2006, was scrapped late in 2020, by the muppet who sadly bought it......

Registration number ? Very likely to have been scrapped in the 3+ years since it was last MoT'd.

Hi everyone,

So as the title says im
Trying to find my old VW Corrado VR6 reg number K733EYW. If anyone has any suggestion on how to locate i would love to hear from you. I have checked and it hasn’t been MOT’ed since 2011 but isn’t registered as scrapped so fingers crossed its still out there somewhere in a restorable condition.

Thanks David

I'd hazard a guess that it's 100% been scrapped

Trying to understand what the information is telling me. Our old runaround sold in 2018. FN02 LSU

Looked up registration on DVLA site. Vehicle not found.
MoT history check, continued after that, last mot expired March 22.
Does that indicate it's been scrapped? Where can you look for records of scrapped certificate issue?

Until then after we got rid it was used by a local garage as a customer loan car and employee runaround, but disappeared rather abruptly when a new owner took over, " not messing about with loan cars". A retained employee would have bought it off them but not given the chance and doesn't want to make waves.

Never owned the car, never seen it, but came across the reg by pure chance after entering the wrong reg for another car I was checking.

Car is on nearly 330k miles, it is pretty much the highest mileage I’ve seen on a petrol car, apart from Prius’ (though they’re hybrids)
And I am impressed that a Geartronic has managed that mileage. It’s probably also why the car is now off the road…
