My old N/A - E298 DTT

[DougGTO]

Hello Guys and Gals,

I used to be a member here a long time ago (5 years i think) back when i used to own a red N/A with the reg number E298 DTT. Unfortunately i sold her as i was low on the old funds and she was just costing me too much to run.

A few weeks ago i was having a conversation with my brother who is a massive rotary nut and is well versed with the engines and we were discussing the old 7\'s we used to own... anyway to cut a long story short i became very sentimental of the old lady and did a DVLA search almost immediately!!

To my surprise she hasn\'t been scrapped but is SORN\'d so i would like to reach out to the community i was once a part of to see if anybody knows where this car is so i can perhaps try and buy her back.

As mentioned the reg is E298 DTT, she had turbo II wheels and front splitter and a duck tale spoiler as well as a white dial kit installed.

Honestly i don\'t know if this will work but i like to give it a try because honestly i think it was probably the best car i\'ve owned.

Best of luck, a noble quest to be sure.

There\'s a section in there about applying to the DVLA for current registered keeper information, you have to be able to demonstrate reasonable cause, might have to tell a little porky on that one.

Hi Doug, did you get any info from this?

It\'s the strangest thing, I was the guy who bought her off you all those years ago.
I LOVED that car with all my heart, I owned her for a while and was loving it until my
Girlfriend at the time decided she wanted rid of me, she left me with no house and a mountain
Of debt so unfortunately I had to sell the car.
I regret it every second to this very day. I know that sounds like I\'m exaggerating, but I\'m really not

I\'ve not been on this forum for years about 2009 I think my last post was. I have been missing the car a bit more recently as I only have my diesel land rover for transport and while she\'s fantastic, she\'s anything but fast.
 I can\'t believe after all these years, I come on here because I was driving an fc on forza 3 and feeling really nostalgic and your post is right near the top of the list.

Anyway, all I can tell you is I sold it to a bloke from yorkshire direction. He fitted a strut brace and a sleepy eye kit. I asked to keep in touch as if he was selling it when I was in a better financial position I\'d buy it back in a heartbeat and he never did.

If it appears to still be in that same area, I\'ll see if I still have his old email he sent and you could give that a go perhaps?

Either way, I wish you the best of luck with it and if you do find her again, just let me know she\'s ok won\'t you?

All the best

Brad
