Groundhog, Do You remember when the car was sold? And forgive me not knowing, what is Reci-car?

By chance, have you any photos of the car you could share with us?

Thank you! I will try to get the history records next week.

The pictures I have are too big, Ill have to modify them.

Here is a link to video, you can see the car at 9:40.

I tried the HPI-check but found nothing on that AUD180 plate. Maybe it is too old to found online..

it would need to be it's uk reg number now or the last one it had, whats the reg number now ?

rattysplit · 27-07-20, 09:27 AM

It was never registered in Finland, so no plates. They used it in rally only, so no registration was needed.

steveb · 27-07-20, 09:34 AM

Any idea if it was registered under a different uk number after AUD 180 ?

rattysplit · 27-07-20, 01:04 PM

Unfortunately no. I could try to track the owner how own it after Sutton. He might know..

They were not just reserved for reci work they would have been used to transport parts, personal, equipment, trips to the chip shop etc etc. While interesting now it would have been considered a disposable item of no significance in the day so any records unlikely. The car was sold to a local Northampton amateur driver by the name of Ian Drummond but I know he didn’t keep it long.
Another fun fact while we had the car it was allocated the reg No AUD 180 (Audi 80)

Is there any chance the reg plate was AUD180B?
