Looking to track down a classic car

    Hi all,

    I'm trying to track down a car that used to belong to my father. It would mean a lot if I could get in touch with the current owner.

    The car is a 1965 Triumph Spitfire Mark IIIa, originally white, with the registration plate 515 YI. I have looked on mywheels.ie, and it is not written off, and is currently taxed.

    I have contacted the Triumph Classic Owners Club, and they have no record of the car.

    I would really appreciate it if I could get in touch with the current owner. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks,

    rabjet

    Carsireland says its green and has no tax.
    It also says 1 owner, so mightn't be that accurate. The green thing might help though.

    Would 515yi not be 1970? Just out if interest as my car is 70 and it's 365yi.

    If the car was previously a UK car from 1965 then brought in here in 1970 it would have been issued the next available number which would make it look like a 1970 reg car to the untrained eye.
    Just a thought.
