Its been off road since 2007, would love to know what happened to it. The experts are all on the site so you never know. Its a Diamond White 1990 Rover Mini City. H996 TGN. It was my first Mini and my first car. Would be amazing if i could find it again over ten years on

H996 TGN

Just to add. Is there any way of tracing a owner from the car details?

You used to able to contact DVLA and for a fee they could give you a list of the owners past and present. Provided that you had a valid reason. Not sure if that still is available though.

Thank you. I will look into that. I bought it in 2004. It was sold to a friends friend. I know shortly after i sold it he blew the head gaskit then crashed it in a local super market car park. Wrong person it sell it too as i dont think it was cared for. It must of been repaired as its what nots ran out 2007

DVLA are very strict with giving out details.

 

I sold a car 5 years ago and promised to send on the service book to the new owner once i found it. By the time i did, i had lost his address and asked DVLA for it so i could return it. They refused

Should say you own a private car park and you need to chase then up over a unpaid fine!!


Had a look and i can only find these 3 pictures of it way back when

i have tried in the past to look for my old City F928 JKE which i have just checked the staus on. It turns out the last MOT ran out in January.

 

I tried putting the word out on here and nobody knew anything.

 

Well worth trying though. You never know, someone on here may own it now?

Thought I recognised this, but on checking it wasn't. My friend Jon owned F923 JKE which was a white Mini automatic. He lives in Kent too.

Ah so close!

 

I have been looking for it for years.

 

When i owned it, it was oyster beige 998cc Manual. 

 

I did see it several years later and it had been resprayed Red with White roof and had alloys instead of the standard hubcaps etc.

 

Never seen it since.

 

Cheers
