Welcome to the Forum
Sadly it may be the case that having been off the road for so many years, the car may no longer exist. However, never say never - it may be locked away in a barn somewhere, awaiting restoration. Good luck with your search.

The plate rings a bell...was this the green Sprint that received some silver 'chequer board' paintwork?

Re: searching for my old sprint

I would join as many 'general' classic car Facebook pages as possible (if you're really keen to find it) and you may just get lucky on one of them.

Re: searching for my old sprint
Bad news I'm afraid; historic ownership lists from 1995 have it owned by a David Lonnon somewhere in the Midlands, but unfortunately the registration has an asterisk next to it indicating the car being known to have been scrapped. Sorry.
