Hi Guys,
I'm looking to find my old Vauxhall Signum. The reg. is HN54UAU. The car is black with irmscher body kit all round including back boxes. The z32se engine was painted in red. I sold it in 2015 on standard sri alloys to the new owner. The buyer signed paperwork as Jamie H****s. Please if you know the person or know anything about the car please let me know. I can give detailed description of the car to prove I was the former owner for many years. Thank you in advance.

It was exported in late 2005 when it was just over 25 years old so it's 99% chance of being in the US now GDZ 6667 where art thou?!

Hello again! As my previous Signum AH54UAU has been found (scrapped unfortunately

As well as finding a photo of my 2.8i Capri I was contacted by a former owner of my BMW Z4 Coupe after I posted a photo of it on here.
Then I heard from a subsequent owner of my BMW E46 325ti Compact, and a later owner of my BMW E91 325i.

I'd spent 4 years trying to search for the old 87 Austin metro I used as my wedding car, unfortunately the person who it went too had since sold it on.
One night whilst on a night shift I went onto Instagram and searched #austinmetro
After a mere 4hrs of search there it was, I think, the reg was blanked out. A message to the owner and he said he was keeping it as him and his young son were going to use it to get him into classic cars, I thanked him for the reply and said if he ever parted with it, please give me a call.
A month passed, he messaged me and had decided because to him it was just a metro, it have no sentiment to him and if he could source a replacement, if I paid for whatever that cost him I could have Boo back.
Safe to say, my little metro is now in my garage and will remain in my possession.
A stroke of pure, dumb luck !
A quick detour via Goodwood on the way to the venue
Some year later, the last time Boo was on this drive was the morning of my wedding

Reading this and I suddenly remembered the reg on the Elan I sold in 1980, for various reasons I've no photos, and could ever remember the number, I have a +2 bought a few years ago to replace it, but always fancied buying my old one back, looked it up on the reg number site, and it was written of in 85, so that's the end of what was always a remote dream.

GDZ was a pretty unique plate (Northern Irish) but Christ I’d love to know it’s story if it’s really in California!!

Hello hope all are well I am trying to find a car which my dad used to own but he sadly passed away in 2005 not sure where it is now the number plate is V440 TWL it’s a Mitsubishi Lancer evo 6 any information would be appreciated thank you
No longer on that reg, I’d hope that’s a good sign as it will likely be on a private plate.What colour?

Hi, just like another member here with granddads memories in his car, i am about to buy a car but i would only want the number plate as really its a 10 year old car, and its diesel, so its outdated but having his number plate would mean a lot. Its still taxed and valid mot.
Reg is FE11XDS black vauxhall insignia.
If any one on this forum knows the person i am ready to pay all the related DVLA fees for transfer and reregistering the persons car too.

I keep checking for my old Mazda MX5 S6 MXV, I’d love to buy it again.
On my weekly check yesterday on total car check I saw it was posted for sale on 22/3/21 then tax was stopped on 27/3/21. I missed it!
Sounds like it was quickly sold and last seller then stopped the tax.
Cannot find it on any car selling site Ive looked. Anyone know how to find the advert or is it dead now if it’s been sold?
S6 MXV is a red 2.0 sport and was on sale for £3500.
Ahhhhhhh!
