How would I go about finding my old mk1's? Is there an area on this forum? 
My favourite mk1 was a black Pirelli Gti that I imported myself from Germany in 98… The Reg number is CVN 494Y if anyone on here has the car??

Forgot to mention that the MOT expired: 13 October 2012.
Not sure but you might try writing to the DVLC but I don't that they will give you anymore!

Here's what they write at the bottom of the page:

If you think that the details on the vehicle record are incorrect please write to:
CCG
DVLA
Swansea
SA99 1BA
Might be worth at shot!!!

The website I used was:
https://www.vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk
So my guess is that's all there willing to give publicly.  


Anyhow, good luck with your search!  :thumbs:

Thanks I would appreciate that. I got it earlier this year from Cheshire. Only came with a bit of history. So did you import it over and got it converted to RHD?
Cheers

I bought it when I was in Germany in 1997…
I brought it home with me for Christmas so that why it was registered in Jan 98..
When I got it, it had Koni adjustable dampening suspension , ATS Cup polished wheels, an Early Wolfsburg 3 spoke leather steering wheel. Oh, and it also had a Shrick Fast road Cam!
I loved it!!

I sold it to a Freind who at the time dealt in MK1's, he converted it to RHD.

If you find any old photos would love to see them. I acn send you some photos of it now if you want. Probably easyer via WhatsApp if you use it? PM me.
It's changed a bit since you had it then. It had a respray and body is in great nick. Its been put onto twin 45s and had a engine rebuild that still needs to be ran in. It's still on adjustable coil overs and now has p slots alloys. The interior is a red check.

Regards
Richard.
