who owned yours before you?

mine was owned by some boy racer type who didn't apreciate her at all.

she was driven as fast as shed go everywhere she went,

i got her for a bargain price. cos he was worried the the man who he had upset would come back and vandlise her some more (already been keyed)

there is an upside to this, (other than me rescuing her) when i got her home i gave the engine a once over and found that she still had her rev limiter fitted.  :mrgreen:

guy i bought mine off had his name on th log book for less than 7 days!!

before that last owner was 7 eyars looking at mot's… altho the chav attempts meant it was owned by some interested mk1 owner with a chav side

2 owners
1, me
2, my nana

I have managed to list all my cars previous owners through the DVLA, I wrote to the last owner and he contacted me through e-mail, he was happy to learn I was restoring her and was going to send me some photos of the car when he had it. But they never arrived  

Hey ho

Mine was originally registered in the Isle of Wight and then brought over sometime in the 80s.

Bloke who had it before me didn't own it long - in the short time it'd been outside his house it'd been keyed and the aerial snapped off. When he told me he lived in a slightly dodgy area he wasn't wrong - some chavs nearly crashed into him (in the golf) while we were following him back to his house to exchange the papers etc.

I think he did the right thing  :mrgreen:

I got mine from a bloke who got the car from Yomp of here this March & only drove it 3 times with 1 of the time being when he drove it home.

Mine was owned by ManicGTI before me.

Ben who`s restoring this owned mine before me.

And the guy who built this had it before him..!!

IN the same family since new and the guy who it was last with was a car enthuaist  8)

myn

1st owner Miss who address is the Chilean Embassy.
first service by Scotts of sloane square.
owner the moved to Middlesex

2nd owner Doctor at the same address.

3rd owner car moved up north to madchester, guy had it for just under a year and then sold to me. Apperantly loosing his garage, not heard that one before so must be true. :wink:

My 76 has had 4 owners including me…girl i bought it off lived in Derby and believe it was previously owned by John Saxton of Golf+  or should we say - these days.
Now for sale whos the next owner ??

The GTI was 1st owned by an electrical wholesaler for 3 years years so assume it was a company car? Then someone owned it for about 15 years, then I bought of a small time dealer operating from his front garden in Bradford. Don't think the 2nd owner washed, cleaned or serviced the car in the 15 years he had it…. practically every single component was rusted, broken, seized, cracked or worn out :cry: . But it was 100% original and complete . I liked a challenge back in 2000.

The Cabrio was a retirement present for woman in her late 50s, 19 years later the lack of PAS was too much for the old dear now in her 70s, so it really has had one carefully old lady driver. I'm too old to be messing with rusty old bangers whilst laid on a cold concrete floor these days :roll:

Spookily her name was almost exactly the same as mine, surname same and forename only 2 or 3 letters different… cue twilight zone music..

Mines been owned by a couple of members from here, Bert and I bought it from ans4r. Before that I have no idea.

Bought from a used car lot 150 miles away in the midlands.  It was parked amongst Vectras…..see below.  Old lady had it in garage after hubby had died.  

Mine was owned by a right muppet who did'nt have a clue what to do with it, he'd only had it a month, and had managed to blow the head gasket(and badly repair it, the whole engine bay was a right bodge tbh), the v5 had'nt even arrived when i went to view the car! It now has a new engine in and has just passed its mot so i'm happy, although so far its cost me dear…

Still, loving the looks it gets now its all shiny! :wink: Tom

mine was previously owned by a muppet also tom. guy in darwen near blackburn had his own garage and was a "mechanic" but hadn't seemed to do anything right and only just about solved all the problems after 2 years! worth every minute though!

don't know who had it before that never really sat down and sifted through the giant folder it came with.

Mine came with the minimum, v5 and mot! service history has bulked up a wee bit now though.
