    It would be interesting to get it back but don't know it's whereabouts now. It is a very attractive metallic Firefrost red with Sandstone beige trim. Sold Feb 2008, with registration GN55 LZR to a gentleman living in Newdigate, Dorking. The serial no is 685. I suppose the obvious move would be to contact the person who purchased it.

    Has to be worth the effort. It looks stunning in your Avatar

    Like minds, I also checked with the DVLA which has prompted me to write to the gentleman I sold it to. He could be a member of the Two-Sixties of course.

    Thanks to one and all for the interest in my quest.

    I met the guy you sold it to soon after he purchased it. He was picking his son up from school at the time and I mentioned the Two-Sixties to him then and thought that he might join up but unless he is one of our 'silent' members I don't think he ever did. I have seen it a couple of times since but not recently.
