Grogey Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 About three years ago I sold my Supra, 3.0 Na manual, Silver.. I was a beautiful car, ran like a dream, sounded like a race car and was in great condition but being a younger and stupid I sold it.. I didn't realise what I had and now they are like gold dust. I would love to find my old car again. I have been on a mad hunt to try and find out what happened to my old Supra but have totally struck out so far so this is my last attempt. Can anyone help? All I have is info given to me from the guy I sold it to about the guy he sold it to... if you follow me! This is it, "he runs/ran a pawn shop/gold shop in Kendal on a road called Strammongate". The car reg is M748 TDB, its silver, manual, had a retro fitted auto front lid spoiler, carbon rear wing, white 17" alloys, the standard body bit and rear splats, customer exhaust manifold and down pipe with a full straight through exhaust system (HKS). Cobra Monico S bucket seats.. Cant think of anything else.. If anyone can help that would be amazing. I realise this is a long shot. Message me on here on my email is [email protected] Thanks guys.

Chris Wilson Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 http://www.cashinadash.co.uk/ may be worth a phone call if you have the name of the chap you sold it to. I wouldn't say N/A Supras were like gold dust though. More like potato chips, and as cheap as, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grogey Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 They are pretty hard to get hold of though right.? I cant seem to find a decent standard NA for sale? If I could I would probably guy it. Thanks for the link Chris, I will give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grogey Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Cheers for this.. Would this tell you if it had been scrapped cause it would seem the guy that brought it off the guy I sold it too never did anything with it.. I wonder if its just sat in a garage somewhere....

rider Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 If the car isn't on SORN there has to be a good chance there is a shell sitting somewhere and its been stripped for parts or its changed hands and someone is driving around untaxed and uninsured.

You could ring the dvla and ask if its been scrapped, it could be on a private plate possibly because that only goes of the reg given, theres an option to give the doc ref on the site that might give a different result IF its been reg transfered to a Private plate Its worth a shot contacting the guy you sold it too though, if he doesnt have it he may have details of who he sold it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has since sold it but lost the details of who too. I only have that vague address in my first post.. Contacting the DVLA isn't a bad shout, at least I would know if the car still exists.

stevie_b Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Contacting the DVLA isn't a bad shout, at least I would know if the car still exists. I'm interested in whether DVLA tell you or not. Hopefully they will, but they might play the "Data Protection Act" card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they will provide a simple yes or no answer, surely if your not asking for an address they can say if its not scrapped or exported or just simply sorn'd, but this is the dvla afterall the most unhelpful bunch of idiots ive ever tryed dealing with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 DVLA will only give you information if you have what they regard as a good reason. And even then you'll have to jump through so many hoops it's unreal. I repossessed a car from a customer who refused to pay their bill. I needed to confirm the owners details, so filled out a form, sent a cheque etc and they wrote back asking for the company name, company address, location of vehicle, copy of the invoice, all sorts of Data protection info... From start to finish, it took 3 months to get the details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grogey Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Christ.. Might be easier just to find someone selling a standard NA, buy that and just start again... Facts are even IF i did find my old one, it probably isn't in the same condition I left it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Buy a turbo Supra instead Ex cars are like ex girlfriends. It's easy to look back and think of the good things, it's only when you get back together do you realise why you got rid of the nagging bastard.

It's easy to look back and think of the good things, it's only when you get back together do you realise why you got rid of the nagging bastard. Never a truer word spoken.. I always liked that is was NA.. Didn't like having to explain that to ever person that asked me at a set of lights though "is that the turbo mate?"... How easy is it to get hold of a manual turbo these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
