Hey All,

its been a long time since i was back here (2008 to be precise!). Back then my two friends and i owned 3 FC's all of which were N/A and an FD. I moved to Australia and sold my FC and I've regretted it ever since.

It was RED with Turbo II wheels, a duck tale spoiler (quite rare i think), Turbo II front splitter and a white dial kit (which used to give me a bloody headache driving at night).

I sold it at a massive loss because it needed work but i am now in a position where I'd like to get her back.

I have checked with the DVLA and their website says that's it's not been MOT'd since 2010 but it does have a current SORN notice on it which is good news.  ;D

Attached is a video from Rotary Club trip to Brooklands in 08 and my car is the red one at 0.10 seconds (shot prior to addition of Turbo II wheels and splitter)

At this point i don't really care if its just a bare shell i get back, the old lady has sentimental value. So there could be a little reward by way of a case of beer (your choice) or whisky (no single malt  ;)) for any information that can help me track her down.

Hi Casey, many thanks for your support. I'm certainly hoping so, if i fail then i will keep an eye out for another FC.
