The hunt for my grandads car

Post by d34n0 » 15 Jul 2016 10:50 pm

Just over a week ago my grandad passed away. When my parents were looking through old photos for the service they found this -
It's a 360 GLE in the same colour as my 340. Now I looked on the DVLA & it said last taxed in 2003 (B60 XCR). I don't hold much hope but would anybody have any leads? I'd love to be able to buy it!
Cheers

Sorry if you've read this from Facebook, thought I'd re-post incase there's a different audience looking.

You could write to the dvla and ask if they would give you the owners details, then hopefully they haven't moved house and you could write to them.

Sorry to here about your Grandad.
Are you shure thats not a late GLS with those wing indicaters and chrome
front bumper? I may be wrong.
