V8 stolen
THE CAR IS NOT MINE! Just helping fellow audi enthusiast...
So the thing is - a latvian was living and working in UK, and had his latvian LHD V8 with him. He flew to latvia at the end of last year and left the car in UK with his friend. He was about to get back to take the car, but the friend told him that cops took the car - went in, asked for a key and the car is gone. He has been in contact with the police and they don't have the car... And so - the car was in Wolverhampton, nine elms line 9 1991. V8, 3.6 PT engine, LHD, mileage 228712 kilometers Registered in latvia, licence plates EE-1928 VIN WAUZZZ4CZMN003754 If anyone has seen this car or knows whereabouts of it, please make it known so that I can relay this to the owner. |

Used to live in Wolves and still not far away from it now. If I saw a V8 it would certainly pop up on my radar.
Could it have been towed away by the local council? |

i'd have to agree with coxy on this one.
towed away, probably council. possibly but less likely dvla/police. the other contender would be scratters who've weighed it in. |

If I see anythng in my travels I will let you know, at the end of the day a V8 isnt the most common car to see on the road these days

My guess is that there has been an interpretation issue here,
"parked on the public road without valid tax/insurance/whatever" would be the stock answer, if you can find which official body removed it. One of our early bay customers is the beat bobby down Whitmore Ruins, i'll see if he has any idea/s. |

Sorry to hear that.
It is a beautiful car! The first thing i'd check is the DVLA. Any car siezed without the owner's knowledge have to follow strict procedures. Even if it is siezed by the local council, they can only remove it with the DVLA's authority, whereby there is a central record of events. IF it has been taken by the police, council or other "official body", then the DVLA HAVE to have a record. Unfortunately, the owner only has a short time to act on it before it is legally crushed, and lost. So please hurry! Whomever was "looking after" the car while your mate was away needs his kneecaps removed with a hammer and chisel! |
