I sent the form off a few weeks ago for my escort and capri, and the escort one came back today,

 

in 1977 it was sold to Eaton paint and varnish co LTD in Nottingham,

 

then in 1978 went to Mr Toplis in nottingham,

 

was sold to Mr Searson in 1995, then to his wife in 1996

 

Mick the Cabbie bought in 2005 and i got hold of it in 2007

 

i sent a letter to Mr Toplis and Mrs Searson, they might have moved house by now, but worth a shot, hope to get some old photos off them and any other info about the car.

 

if you haven't sent it off for your car it well worth it and only cost a fiver.

 

just wonder where the one for my capri is :(

hope you get more luck than i did! i heard nothing from any of the 13 previous owners of my capri i wrote to!

 

:sad:

 

i found one of the last owners of my capri, after looking through the paperwork that came with the car and searching on Retards Club, but he didn't really care too much and stopped replying to me.

my mk1 eckie estate had one owner from new in 72 right up to 2000. been in touch with him and he,s got loads of photo's of it through the years, even a few from the day he brought it brand new. looking forward to getting some off him. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

I got the original front seats back (in mint condition) and a few pics of my mk1 escort off a previous owner,2 had sadly died and the other 2 owners had moved,thought about using Retards Club or some other means to try and find them,the bt thing might be worth a try?

 

Would it be worth starting a thread on here to try and see if people know any cars history or previous owners??
