Hi all, Just by pure chance, I thought that I would write to a previous owner that my A7 was registered to 54 years ago this owner appeared on the old type buff logbook and remained in his name right up until 10 years ago. I knew it was probably a long shot thinking this chap would have been a young man at that time given the dates involved. so thinking he may have passed away by now or moved away from the address that I wrote to, or that the letter would go, just unanswered. To my amazement, he called me one evening some two weeks from first writing to him. He gave me a lot of info on the car and journeys that he and the family made, including sending me Photos of when he toured the South of France in the car and camping holiday with his young wife.
He also said, that he still had lots of spares in the garage that I could have which I have arranged to collect.
The real value for me is making contact with this long distant owner with history and pictures to add to the pleasure of my A7 which could have so easily been lost If I hadn't made that chance contact.
Have others had this kind of exciting contact?
My little A7 has taken me much further than I could have hoped.
Regards RPM
