Does anyone know where my old Gran Finale is?

Hi Guys,
Today I travelled 600 miles to buy the first ever Lambretta that I owned over 20 years ago which was listed for sale on EBay.
Now that the Lambretta has come 'home' I'd quite like to find my last ever X1/9 which I sold to the Chief Engineer at Jaguar in Coventry.
I've sent an email to his last known address but not had a reply so I was wondering if anyone on here knows where it is.
It's a Mica Blue Gran Finale reg number F285 NFT.
Many thanks.

It looks like it is SORNed at the moment.

So at least it's still around.

Thanks Andy, I forgot about that facility where you can see if it's taxed or not.
I bet it's in a lock up somewhere gathering dust.

Do you think it would be cheeky of me to ring his home number as I still have it from when he bought it off me?

No answer and no voicemail.

I'll keep trying.

Well I've had no luck contacting the current owner even though he is quite a prominent figure in the motor industry which means he is either too busy to reply, doesn't want to sell the car or even doesn't have it anymore!
