Hi there, 

This is Richard from Glasgow. 
I am reaching out to all Mini owners out there to try to find “George”

he’s a Rover Cooper Sport from 2000 which my wife bought from new. it was our wedding car.

Kids meant we had to sell him 5 years later. 
We have regretted it ever since……!!!!

25 years later I would love to buy him back. But need to find him first. 
he was sold via Phil Mires 4 years ago. Link https://philmirescla...-sport-1-3i-mpi

Looks like he needs an MOT since 2023 according to DVLA.

 

Anyone out they know where he is?
Any help gratefully welcomed!

Thanks guys!!
Richard

This is the best looking mini! (I have the LHD twin).

Best of luck finding George - I am very far away so I'll likely be no help, but do let us know how you go!

Looks like you have already found it!

Upon checking, seems like it was advertised again for sale in 2023, but oddly the V5C was last issued in Feb 2022.

Maybe phone up Phil and see if he’ll pass on your number to who he sold it to?

Also DVLA database says it’s blue, not grey?

Thanks beardylondon, appreciated. 
Already spoken to Phil but the chap he sold it to sold it in again which is the issue. 
But it looks like that sale was July 23 according to your advert, so thanks for that. Just need to find where that advert was? 
DVLA has always been wrong….!

Ok, fair enough!

I used totalcarcheck.co.uk, and I believe they pull info from Autotrader, but I’m not 100% sure.
