Trying to find my old 205 GTI - Black, REG: MJI 3170

[SuperBaaaad]

Hi all,

This is a MASSIVE long shot, but I'm going to give it a go.

Many years ago (2005 to be precise), I [stupidly] p/x'ed my 205 GTi 1.9 for a new car.

It was resprayed black with a slight green flip, and had a Gutmann front bumper/splitter and a Gutmann badge on the back.

It's a 1991, the number plate on it was MJI 3170.

I've checked on DVLA and it says it's still alive / sorn, so I'm hoping that someone, somewhere has it - maybe in their garage or something. Or, someone knows where it might be.

After much digging, I found this post on another forum from 2010, which sounds like it could be the same car: http://pscuk.net/threads/68402-guttman-205?highlig...

By the commentary on the forum, it sounds like the poor thing has been ruined, but I'm hoping there's something to salvage.

I've posted on various other forums, but if anyone knows anything at all, it would mean a massive deal to me. I'd love to know as I'm actually interested in buying it back, whatever condition it's in.

If anyone knows anything whatsoever, please get in touch!

Many thanks in advance.

Oli

Have a look through this lot? and form V888 ?

There is a way,I think, that DVLA will pass on your enquiry to the registered keeper.As its been off the road for about three years there may be a way to "trick" them into giving you the RK`s address? study the paper work.

You realise this is like looking up an old girlfriend? It may not be the stunner that you remembered it now and has a fair few miles on the clock in wear and tear and abuse

Probably, but I don't really care, I'm looking for a base for a resto project, so whatever it's like I'll take it.
