944 A474 JPB, ring a bell?

[dodger962]

Hi
i've recently joined the ranks of a 944 owner after purchasing it at the recent Bonhams auction at the Silverstone classic. I was advised that there was some paperwork with the car. However none has materialised after contacting them on a few ocassions. I emailed Paul, the register secretary ,to see if it had been registered previously but had no luck, so on his advice i'm turning to the members of the forum to see if A 474JPB ring's any bells with anybody. At least i might be able to piece some of it's history together!

Worth calling or writing to Porsche Cars GB with the details. I did this years ago with my S2 and they gave me printed copies from their legacy computer system of some of the work done on the car. It's unlikely to give recent history but still interesting none the less and can only help increase your knowledge about the car.

I had much success going down this route.

Just send your £5 and you'll get back all the previous owner details. Takes a bit of time but well worth it.

Smug mode on - fortunately I don't need to!
First owner (1990) 9 months, and he still lives at the same address!- Px to Sytners Nottingham.
Second owner 20 years - lots and lots and lots of paperwork.
Third owner - me!
Smug mode off.

Just got all the info off the dvla ,mine was supplied by lancaster garages in norwich and they are no around anymore so have drawn a blank there and non of the previous owners are listed in the phone directory so yet another blank there.So its not looking hopefull that im going to get any history for the car unless i can trace the last 3 owne,so anyone on here from either blyth ,selby or coxwold ??. As i think one of these people may be able to help especially the guy from coxwold !!
