Looking for my old car

Hey all,
It's been a long time since I posted on here. I moved to the land of GT-R like so many have done BUT...I still miss my RS4 and would love to see it back in my life (my son would be over the moon!)
Am I allowed to post up the VRM on here or is that frowned upon? I was hoping that if I did, the current owner might read this and we could have a chat

Maybe a partial plate and description (colour, bodystyle etc) to narrow the search?

YB56 **K
Phantom black metallic saloon, de-cat, non-res Milltek, Brembo big brake conversion, MRC remap. A Scottish chap bought it from me (Barry) but I know he sold it for a Golf R.
Hopefully that's enough detail.

Did it have black wheels? I saw a black on black saloon with remap, milltek and uprated clutch at Aberdeen VW when I first started looking at RSs. Standard seats too?

Yes, black wheels, standard Recaros.
How long ago was that?

Wasn't buckets, it had the comfort seats (iirc). Was around September last year, I think.

Yep, that was my first rs. Bought it, had it a couple weeks before it was stolen from the house. Managed to get it back without too much damage then wrote it off a month later

Hmm, not too sure this is true tbh....not until I get confirmation of the VRM which I haven't had yet.

Thanks for that. I tried it and it said no record of the car on the insurance database

Thank you. Tried it and got the same result so it seems that my beloved RS4 is no longer
