Trying to find which French ford dealer a 2018 fiesta was bought from. I know the original plate and vin

A contact in FR said to forget it as its almost impossible and a phone call to a random dealer was very unsuccessful.

Cheers

Which should narrow things down a little.

Unless the car's already been resold since new and is now in a different departement.

Does anyone know a French car specialist who can help with this who can visit a ford dealer for me?

A bit curious as to why you want this info? I think the warranty is probably well out of date by now.

Why do you need a "French car specialist"?
Most of us could help by visiting a Ford dealer for you.
So you know if the original number plate had a department number on it or with it?

I don't think any of us should offer advice or assistance until we know why.

I don’t need a specialist really it just came to mind. Any help would be much appreciated.

The original plate has a 35 department number but it’s a slightly blurry photo so i could be wrong.

I’m trying to replace a lost service book and after the original dealer stamp and any service history on record. Of course I’d be willing to buy a beer or ten if anybody can help beer

I don’t understand why you’re so keen to get your hands on the service book,nobody else in all of France will care about it’s service history.
