I'm trying to track down my Grandmother's old Mercedes.
. It was traded in to Macrae and Dick Inverness in the late 90s/early 00s and last we heard, it was up in Stornoway somewhere.
Sorry but I would expect a Y reg Merc to have long since rotted away up in the North of Scotland the salty roads bad weather kills off most cars much sooner up there unless someone saved it as something rare/special the rust will have killed it..

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.
Reg G130 UHX
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.
Not scrapped but was Cat-C written off in 2010 and then a VIC check in 2012. So odds are it's around!!I'm looking to regain ownership of my Grey Mk2 Golf GTi.

I'm looking to track down a triumph stag owned by my girlfriends dad before he died. It was a red convertible DSM 107L from photos she has and used to be on private plate LEE 223 (this is currently on her car)
It is currently insured and taxed!
Stag owners club have no record of the car currently in the club

Any trace on my old Cortina? Looks like the current owner has either put a 2.8 back in or not declared the 2.9 Cosworth engine that was hiding in there according to that RAC check. Just wondered if she's still on the road. CMY 526T
Road tax status :Expired: 01 October 2013Edited by Roundozo on Friday 19th December 15:47
MOT Expired : 09 July 2014
Can tell that much from looking on here - https://totalcarcheck.co.uk/
Just checked the .gov website, my old Triumph is taxed and MOTd until December 2015! Good to see she's back on the road.
If you own PJT 418J, firstly well done for getting it back on the road, and thank you for looking after her, and secondly if you ever want to sell I'd very much like first refusal!

4 of my past cars could not be found (scrapped/exported? Two were sold through gumtree, one through an owners club and one to a family member)
1 is SORN
1 has no TAX/MOT since 2012 but is not SORN! If you see a dark red S reg Golf GT TDI on the road then give it a wide berth!
1 is still on the road but then I only sold it 2 weeks ago.
Quite sad my first car (a clean and tidy 1994 Civic 1.3 hatchback) is no longer, they are hard to find now and it was ultra reliable and cost peanuts to run.

SOOOOOO! Completely new on here, Hello , but thought i would give this a try to find my old car…..Im looking for my old Peugeot 309 GTI 4X4 COSWORTH reg was E300 WSB, Built by my brother Mike (since passed) and owned by me in 96-98 time frame…
Was JDM built shell painted dolphin grey metallic (BMW colour)
375hp with T34 Hybrid turbo YBT 4X4 (the blue top)
Had full escort cos lux interior (yes really)
Lots of parts came from Mark Shead at the time if I remember correctly ( M.A Developments)
Was a fast car feature in 96...
Really trying to find it for nostalgic family reasons, anyone seen it or knows where it is?
Check it on DVLA it is on a sorn but is insured???
Wrote to DVLA but wasn't a reasonable cause to give current owner details (typical)
Anyone help?
Cheers
