Trying to find my old Mondial T coupe. A11 CXD

Wow…..

I would be very interested in hearing from you about the car, and your adventures/plans with it.

I tried contacting you but no emails permitted.

Kind regards,

Mark.

Once you've got it back Mark let's have a nostalgia blast round the black mountains.

Well well well, look who turns up......How you doing fella? Family well?

I took a stock mk1 MX5 the last time, they still struggled to keep up over the mountain, but at least this time it survived intact. Sold most of the car toys, just got bored of them and fell out of love.......work/health the usual getting in the way. I've kept the last "Chaz and Mark" built Mk1 MX5 (that is very poorly at the moment), as it really is like polishing a turd in the tuning stakes.......still NA power though, none of this turbo stuff. You remember my kids......the eldest is now driving!

Hi,

Some might say stupidly, but in or around early 2016 I Sold my 1993 Mondial T coupe, finished in Blu Medio over Crema fitted with a larini Exhaust. At the time the registration was A11 CXD.

UK Gov sites say that the Tax and MOT ran out in late 2016/early 2017, and SORNed since.

At the time of selling I was worried about the cost of ownership, so rather than do it on the cheap I sold it on and purchased a more modern Morgan Aero 8 and lately a TVR Chimaera 5L......but I miss the Mondial. Today having removed and rebuilt engines and fixed bodywork and electrical issues, ownership no longer looks as costly and daunting, so I am trying to find the car.

I did track it to an auction in 2016 where it did not sell, the Auction company is trying to make contact on my behalf as well, but understandably they are not about to give me any personal details, hence the post here to see if anyone knows and can put me in touch.

Cheers,

mark
