Langers Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 I'm trying to locate my beloved old Boxster. It's an all original 1997 arctic silver tiptronic. Car is featured here: http://www.radiocafe.co.uk/zold/def_pp4.htm - this was way back in 2005 so you can see how much I loved my Boxster! If you know this car or its whereabouts, I would be so delighted if you could pass on any info. It was sold through the fantastic PorschsaCare/Renn Works* in Stevenage in Feb 2022, having been with them for a while before. I sold it while going through a really tough time as a result of serious illness and bereavement - but I never should have done so as I always planned on keeing the car forever. I'd love to find out if the new owner might possibly sell the car back. It's long shot - but I guess you never know! Many thanks Langers *I highly recommend Renn Works, having used a couple of indies in London previously who were a total nightmare. Matt @ PorschaCare couldn't have been kinder, what a top bloke; he gave my car the very best treatment since 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 You can put that plate into a few databases I believe to see if it is still "active". No hits might mean it's died and gone to heaven, or that someone has put a private plate on it. Isn't there one now where a person can search by VIN, for a few quid?

Langers Posted November 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) Thanks M. I've run it throught the gov's MOT checker and seems it did around 90 miles last year, which is encouraging to know it's still alive and kicking. Trying to see if Matt has any info also (he's been away), which is probably my best bet. Edited November 5, 2023 by Langers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 Encouraging as you say 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langers Posted November 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 The plot just thinnened as L80XST is now showing up as SORNed. Which might be good news, if I eventually manage to speak to the garage who sold the car and they know of buyer’s whereabouts. Quite a big if* though. *(Better than a big but) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zagamuffin Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 Know any coppers 😉😉😉😉😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 You could try a check with CarVertical? Seems that looks across several databases. Might not give you the current location (hello Data Protection) but could still give you more info, as you have such a personal interest in the car.
