gms3000cc Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Hi all, I am trying to trace a MK3, I owned 20yrs ago, Reg F860 FUB. I met my wife while I owned it but ended up selling when the 1st child came along. It is our 20th wedding anniversary April 2019 and I would love to get it back for then. Does anybody know of it's existence ? any help gratefully received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Good luck with the search unfortunately as im sure you're well aware, the past 20 years havent been kind to the mk3 population. Have you checked the reg no. with the dvla to see if it is still registered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evinX Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Alot of mk3s were butchered for their engines alot rusted out. With it being unrecorded for 12 years your chances are slim. Although theres always that chance it might be parked up somewhere. Apply for the v5. 25 quid. Youll get the past owners detail on it. Duno of thats illegal or not.

I'd suggest paying for an HPI check. If the car was scrapped it should tell you. That's assuming anyone notified the DVLA of this when it was. As suggested, it likely got parked up and stripped for parts, but there is always a glimmer of hope with these things.

rider Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Another possibility is it being private plated 12 years ago. Slim possibility but one that a HPI check would bring up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) Another possibility is it being private plated 12 years ago. Slim possibility but one that a HPI check would bring up. It wouldn't come up on the mot search if the reg had changed Last time it was taxed was May 2011 according to total car check Edited December 5, 2017 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
