Have you ever wondered where a car you used to own is now? Maybe you'd like to buy it back?

With so many members covering every corner of the country, there must a good chance of someone knowing someone who might know where a car you owned many years ago is currently residing.


I'll kick off.

c.1986, I owned a 1971 Mercury Comet. 302 cu.in. V8. It may have been a GT model; not sure. Reg plate: ELE 9J
The car was white with blue stripes. Big slot mag rear wheels; standard fronts.

I removed the two-barrel carb and inlet manifold replaced them with a polished Weiand Hi-Ram intake manifold and two 4-barrel 650cfm Holleys. (The bonnet had to be suitably 'altered' hehe)

I sold it after it it killed its third gearbox. To a couple from Surrey, IIRC.

Would love to know if it's still out there... might even fancy it back scratchchin



Anyone else fancy tracing a 'lost treasure'?

The couple who bought the car did say they intended to use it for a drag car. Sounds like it never went back on the road frown
