    Looking for my Dads old Pop

    Wondering if this network of resourceful individuals could help me out??
    My dad built a pop in the 80?s and very early 90?s. It?s been sold many times over by now. I managed to find an advert for it a while ago, but after messaging the number in the last week, we?ve come up blank after he owned it.
    Does anyone know where it is now??
    Below was an advert for it a long while ago.

    Had Porsche front seats, grey tuck and roll interior, SBC, flip front.
    Would love to know how it?s doing.
    Phots below are from around 10 years ago.
    Thanks, Rob.

    Looking on the DVLA website, it is on SORN and the last log book change was 16 June 2014
    No indication where it is though.

    Thanks both!
    Yes, I had done that check too.
    I have spoken to the owner who sold it in 2014, but hasn’t had a reply from the new owner.

    I’m hoping to try and find it, so spread the word far and wide!!

    Can't believe I'm going to say this but I expect you'll get better traction on Faeces Book.

    That Scarlet fellow will do terrible things to me now.

    And what's the plan? Just know its whereabouts and what it's doing, or is there some desire to maybe get it back?

    Bumper sticker - This is an historic vehicle and only has three speeds....... if you don't like this one you sure as hell won't like the others.

    I tried the FaceAche thing, on a specialist ‘where are they now’ page. But to no avail…
    The plan… there isn’t one really, it would be good to see how the car is doing, what’s the plans (if any) and yeah I suppose, if there is an option to buy it, conversations can be had. My son has said he’d like a pop as his first hot rod, and it would be quite romantic if it comes full circle.

    Mysterons are duplicating and the Borg are assimilating ,its just a vicious circle Andy maybe they'd burn each other out
