I'm trying to look for a car I owned many years ago, a red MGF, R386 ABH.

Why ? (remember, I have owned it, so I know the strengths and many weaknesses of the F) but let's move on and think sentiment is over-ruling logic here.

It was taxed until about a month ago, which means it may be close to scrap or on a forecourt.

When I owned it, I lived in Newcastle Upon Tyne, but that was many years ago and could be anywhere now, but I did track a previous owner a couple of years ago via a post in a local paper - unfortunately they couldn't remember who they had sold it to.

DVLA haven't answered my requests.

Any info or advice on tracking appreciated.

Ha, good spot, forgot about that trail.

A lot of effort with little result so far, how hard can it be to find a car.

Suspect this may be last chance before it's scrapped frown

Thanks for the updates. Still seaching, no luck yet.

I only have 1 surviving piccy (didn't have a digital camera in 97), it's on the website I have set up in the cause...

I joined the MGF register and met the chairman at a classic car show, they don't have any record frown

I then tried an advertising campaign on facebook, but no results.

Never thought it would be this difficult to track down a car !

All help/info appreciated
