Hi all. Wondering if anyone can help me get in touch with the current owner of a P5B coupe I used to have many years ago. It was and presumably still is in dark blue with same dark blue roof, unusually for a coupe but was a special order.
I bought the car in about 1998 and had to sell it a few years later still needing restoration, the next owner didn’t keep it long and sold it on again and I lost touch.
The reason for wanting to contact the current owner is that I did a lot of information digging at the time and found out the very interesting historic background of its very first owner, which I have just found my notes again. It would be a great shame if the history was lost, or maybe the nes owner knows already.
I also see from the online records that it did get back on the road for a while so someone must have fully or part restored it.
Number plate is V…….450G
So if anyone knows , please help me get in touch.
Many thanks

If your P5B was a V reg, it surely suggests that it may have originally had a personalised plate, as a V was 1979/80. Have you any idea of the original manufacture date, as my understanding was that manufacture ceased in June 1973?
