Hi new to this forum.
I do not own any vehicles but I have a bit of a story and wondering if you guys can help me
My dad had a 411le which he purchased at just a few months old and owned till I was in my late teens.
I did try to trace the car with the original numberplate but was showing no registration on dvla system so I thought all was lost on that car. I also contacted a vw magazine where the printed a supplied picture with no luck
Recently we have been tidying my dads place out of years and years of paperwork and low and behold we came across a large folder full of the original sales receipts. The service books and service receipts. Bill's. Parts book. Repair manual. All vw supplied stuff. Which now also states the chassis and engine number for the car. Which is where I am now wanting to ask if there is anywhere or anyway I can find a vehicle using the details of chassis and engine numbers??? Your help be much appreciated as if I could find the car then all this olknformation and pictures through the years might be of interest to the owner??
Long shot I know but always worth a try
Thanks james

Hello and welcome.
I think you will be better off posting some photos of the car and letting us know the reg. Most of the cars in the UK are known by someone on here. So with that information you may find someone recognises is. As far as I know there is no public data base of chassis numbers.
I hope we can help you!

Welcome
I presume that's you sat on the bonnet
Was the car a saloon or a variant ? That looks like a 4 door saloon from the photo, but it is dark.
