Trying to find my old car

Post by Yeti »

Hi,trying to find out any info about my old car with a view to a possible repurchase. She was a 1966 2 door Minor 1000 in Rose Taupe and in excellent condition. She was passed on to me by my parents (now recently deceased - RIP), and was subsequently used as our wedding car. My son was also collected from hospital after being born and took his first car rides in her. She was regrettably sold in about 93/94 in Guildford, when my son was about 2 years old, as wife wanted a newer car with all the usual frills of a modern car for the baby. As you can see, she has a lot of history and sentimental value to me. Any information about the car, its current owner or whereabouts would be gratefully received. Please send via PM. The cars reg no was NPF 726D. I really hope to be able to find her, and if luck would have it, repurchase her, but if in the hands of a loving owner, would be prepared to wait, with just a look at her. Thank you all in advance

Is this of any interest?

Or is it your own posting?
