Do you have any pics of the car? Somebody may recognise it but not know the reg number.

 

I can barely remember my own reg number let alone another car's 🤣

Additionally, quite a few owners block out their reg number in photos of their car, so we often never see them.

We do have a voluntary online register you can check, bit again, it’s entirely voluntary amongst members, who can include as much or as little detail as possible.

 

The link is in the first post.

(please don’t link directly to the register, it’s in the members only area for a reason!)

I've done a pretty thorough Google search and it can't find the car which is unusual.

 

If I enter my reg, a good few pics come up and I know others have found the same.

Fairly good MoT history up to 2021, then it’s a blank.

Thankyou for the help so far.  

I've no pictures of my own so far

@Nick Algar - Competition Secretary  Do you recognise it? It's not got Speed Series stickers on though........... Just a WSCC one.

I have definitely never seen that one before, quite striking!

Good spot @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO

Ok, it looks like it may have belonged to a guy called Martin Watson. This was at Gurston Down hillclimb. Says July 2024 so about a year ago

A google image search shows these results- Google Image search

 

 

We don't have a WSCC Member called Martin Watson, unless his username isn't so obvious.

But.... Good old AI thinks it's a Caterham 🤣

Look like he's owned it for a while, this was 12 years ago-

 

 

 

Given the MOT history gap @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) has identified, it's likely only been used for racing lately.
