Many years ago, somewheraround 1981 or 2, I bought a 1972 TR6 which I loved dearly.
It was the car we had our honeymoon with.
I had to sell it in 1987 when my wife fell pregnsant ................ my fault, I know.
However, I yearn to have it back and wonder whether anyone has a clue as to it's whereabouts.
About 10 or so years ago I heard it was in the Cambridgeshire/Suffolk area.
When I had her she was royal blue with a gloss white rear panel and white wire wheels.
The registration number was NGO926L ........................... and I miss her.
If anyone knows of such a beast I would be very, very grateful.
Many thanks & kind regards,

Slime.

Doesn't that contravene any confidentiality laws?

You also need a good reason.

Perhaps say the car collided with you and drove off.

Or say it was parked illegally.

They probably will not give it to you.
If it is on sorn then how will it collide with you on a public road etc etc.

The police would need to do that work and they will not simply for a previous owner to locate his pride and joy.

You could contact all the TRiumph clubs and ask

or find out where all the clubs meet and pop along to a few local ones.

Great story - good luck in your search! I managed to buy our old car from many years ago after a chance photo from a friend at the Birmingham classic car show 18 months ago. I don't see it very often but it's great to get top-down when I get home now and again.

Being a previous registered keeper is a good enough reason...
