Hi everyone. Heres the story. My dad bought a vl back in 1988/89 which he ended up giving to me about 10 years later. I drove it for over 6 yrs before it ended up being in 2 accidents in one week was a write off. ;( I sold my dads one only about 5 months ago. to a friends younger bro who i thought was going to fix it up but he put it on ebay and ended up swapping it for a thumpster motorbike and cannot give me any details of who too apart from they were from liverpool and came with a tilt tray. I sold my dads old vl and another one i bought and drove for three years after it bout 5 months ago. And im spewing i sold either If this rings a bell i hope you can try and help me. as i wanna try and buy the car back or if its gettin fixed up see it when its done and maybe one day buy her back. this was it leaving my house Sept/Oct end of last year.. - any help/info would be greatly appreciated.. Cheers Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

its a long shot, but maybe call the tow truck company as they may have records of where it was delivered too

I made a calaisturbo account just for you 2drift. Buyer of the the smik orig manual SL here. For what its worth mate, i love that car and treat it like a baby. The rust is even worse now because of how much i wash it lol. Which im getting done soon... Forgot to mention that water gets in to the backseat driver side floor ayy? It was runing hot on the drive home...turns out the water pump and radiator were rooted. Later on i also had to do a timing belt, timing belt tensioner and CAS among a few other things. It was dubbed besser (after a besser block) by my mates because apparently its just a big white brick. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
