Looking for Vitesse 2 litre ODE 57G

[iansl2000]

Hi

I'm just looking for Vitesse 2 litre ODE 57G. I sold this in 1996/7 and the last V5 was issued in 2017.

Any chance?

Thanks

Ian

DVLA confirms the V5 and says it's SORN so you might be in luck.

Sounds positive, then; you may find it's someone's new project and may hit the road again in the future.

Well, I found this picture from 2016 on the internet-looks in a sorry state.

Hi Ian. 
 

My x husband, Mark Sheedy bought Ode (as we called him) off you in September 96. Unfortunately we parted ways in 2007. 
He was maintained (road worthy) up till this point, having given Ode new wheels and roof. After we parted Ode lay document in Mark’s garage for 5 years till he sold Ode in 2013. 
Unfortunately, Mark told me since he lost the details to the guy he sold Ode to in South East London. Mark know this guy had Ode for around three years but might have sold Ode on for parts. 
 

My guess is to contact the DVLA stating that you were one of the cars  original owners and you are trying to trace Ode. 
 

If you have any further joy can you contact me please as Mark and I would like to know what has happed to Ode. 
 

I’ll leave you with my e-mail address, so you can contact me directly.

I am fully aware of scams, plus weird people, I’ve dealt with a few in my time, hence the e-mail only. 
 

Thanks guys for being observant. ❤️

I found the reg on what appears to be a Registration Sale / Transfer site. Anyone able to decipher more?

Hi Fiona

Wow!, I thought posting in the first place was  a one in a million chance in getting a reply but that shows what I know.

The dates you've given seem to tie in with the last V5 issued and the car is SORN at the moment, although how thorough people are at notifying the DVLA of the SORN/scrapping status I don't know.

Many thanks for taking the time to reply and if I find out any more or course I'll contact you.

Thanks again

I think that AAA11A is the modern Swedish Reg format so that .se site is most likely unconnected.
