I sold my Sti type uk blobeye a few months back I work away quite a lot so when it was sold me and the new buyer agreed that he would take the documents with private registration and get it changed over as he had a mate that could do it as he was a trader and they can get it done faster. So that I could get it back sooner and he could get the documents in his name as he was planning to tidy it up and sell it on quite quickly. Sadly how ever he has sold the car to someone else and refuses to hand over any contact details so that I can get in touch to try and get my registration back. Can any one help? It's a 2003 blobeye Sti Prodrive wr blue registration is K30 BJM

 

sorry but you sold the right to it when you sold the car it shoild have been taken of and put on retention hope this helps.

 

it only takes a couple of days to do it yourself anyway so FASTER......

looks like you have lost it.

 

I know it should have been taken off but I was offshore when I advertised it and sold within a few days. The guy came to pick it up as soon as I got home. It takes 3-6 weeks now they have closed down local Dvla offices. I was hoping someone might recognise the car or know the new owner so that I could try and get it back.

 

A quick search on Google found this,following the link doesn't bring anything about your old car but might be worth asking on SIDC forum?

 

That's me asking on sidc.

 

Doh! Sorry pal good luck with the search

 

Sadly If the log book with that reg is No longer in your name you have lost all rights to the reg. You could have removed your reg instantly on the Dvla website. Do you have a copy of the last log book in your name ,you could try removing the plate with the document ref number on line if the log book has not been updated yet.

 

Have you any pics of the car,might help a little?

 

That's what it looked like when I had it. I know I have lost all rights to it. I have already tried on the Dvla website but the documents have already been changed. I would really like it back as it was a gift for my 21st.

 

I would never trust anyone with a cherished reg, even if the buyer has to wait for the car. As mentioned above you can do it online now in a few mins with a fee of £80

 

The worst thing was I was doing at as a favour to him cause I didn't even have a car to put it on. The online retention wasn't available when I sold the car I noticed it a few weeks later. I just hope the new owner is a member or someone knows them so I can try sort something out with them and get it back.

 

Fingers crossed for you fella

 

Cheers.

Have you tried applying to DVLA for the current owners details? https://www.gov.uk/request-information-from-dvla Might be worth a go?

 

Sorry to hear pal I was in the same situation but James at Ribble valley sports did it all for me in a couple of hours was the plate of sentimental value?? If not just look for another hell!! Yours ,ithe be on there

 

Yeah it was sentimental I got it for my 21st. Hopefully I will manage to get it back I haven't given up yet.

 

I will try that tonight. Cheers.

 

All the best bud hope you get it back

 

Got home from offshore yesterday sent away for the information hopefully I can get it and get in contact with the new owner.

 

Bump. Does anyone know this car? No word from Dvla yet. Would be willing to buy it back.

 

How much are you willing to pay ? If more than £150 why not buy this , your initials and associated with subaru .

I really want my 1 back as I have had it for 10 years. Been looking at a few others incase I don't get it back.

 

As has been said, you should have put it on retention, but I know that's of little use to you now.

Anyone wanting to put their plate on retention can now do it online. I did mine last week and it only takes a minute, had the retention cert within 2 days.
