Hope you have some luck but it might be difficult now that reg is on a different car
Thanks, i think you could be right!Hope you have some luck but it might be difficult now that reg is on a different car
that will be an amazing story when you find it!
It would be great to find it! Very much hoping it didn't end up in a ditch in the 80s...that will be an amazing story when you find it!
have you no old paperwork that you could get the chassis number from ? Did you try the registrar ?
Good advice, unfortunately, these old photos are all I have to go off. Yes, i did attempt to reach out to the registrar, but haven't had a response yet.have you no old paperwork that you could get the chassis number from ? Did you try the registrar ?
Does anybody with a better 1st hand knowledge of the period colours recognise the colour? At 1st thought, I'd assumed Platinum Metallic, but looking at it, it may be something a touch darker? I know it's difficult with the quality of the images and their white balance...
Try emailing :- 911turbo@porscheclubgb.com
or the PCGB archive on:- peter@porscheclubgb.com
Having the chassis number (Vin No) might help.

OK John, thanks for letting me know .It's not a car that I recognise, and without a chassis number an almost impossible task now that the registration number has moved on.
Whilst i have you, in other matters, do you know if i can purchase a copy of my 930's build sheet from Porsche?
Unfortunately no longer available via the Club, and as I understand it, not from Porsche Cars GB either.
However, I have heard of instances where it has been possible to get / purchase that info from the original supplying Porsche dealer, assuming that they are still in business.

I got mine with an inspection I had done by Porsche Inspections , maybe they have a way of getting your build sheet ?

I’ve Just been looking for plate history’ websites and here’s what I found out… this plate was first registered in the Ross and Cromarty county council in 1963, which is in Scotland.
Maybe the local council will have some
Info on the car?
Here’s the website

Reg Checker - Check the Reg of Any Standard or Private Plate
Car Reg Checker - Our plate checker delivers details about where your number plate is from or how old your number plate is | CarReg.co.uk

Alternatively maybe the R&C CC national archives could help given you now have the precise year and precise county council location where that plate was originally registered?
Or someone smarter than me (not difficult) can take the lead from here?
It would be amazing to find your late dad’s car!
