Hi folks!

I'm going to be getting Dave to make up some dealership/period number plates for the rr, my question is, how do i find out what dealership it came from? I know it comes from south west london... reg is G757 PGK...

Thanks!

According to my VAG service handbook dated 10/91 there were several dealers in SW London

Scotts of Sloane Square SW1
Scotts SW6
Dovercourt SW11
Balham Autos Limited SW12
Whites Wimbledon SW19

Although with it being a bit of a specialist vehicle I bet not all of these dealers were suppliers of quattros. Someone with a model specific knowledge may assist further

Are any of them mentioned in any handbook or literature with the car? Service stamps/sales cards etc

If not you can apply to DVLA using form V888 and for a fiver you'll get details of previous keepers and the original supplying dealer

Hope this helps

Send a V888 to the DVLA. It costs a fiver & you get all the documentation they hold, which should include the registering dealer.

Doh!

Listed in service directory as
Lonsdale (Catford) Ltd
8/10 Rushley Green
London SE6
081-314-1021

If you haven't already done so Gmac have a look through the various DMB threads on the forum. Kenquattro and others have posted numerous original dealer plates and stickers
If you can't find Lonsdale you can always make one to your own design with the details you have

Like wot I did!

Haha, that's the exact pic I've sent over to Dave, Ken. Cheers for posting though! And also to note that the postcode is SW13, which is different to the above post by cjp. SW13 is the postcode in my service book. Cheers fellas, looking forward to getting them now!!
