Hi - Does anyone know where D10 VPR is?

[Alexander-Ryan]

My dad used to own a beautiful RT/10, 1994, Side exhaust model. (borla exhaust kit and upgraded intake hoses)
Absolutely loved it, it was red, white stripes and a few race decals. Sadly we needed to sell it to set up a new business and we kinda felt bad for the car as she was stored 6 months of the year!

So, Does anybody know where it is now?.. We sold it in manchester with the reg plate D10 VPR years ago, it must of been over around 10 years ago.
We are north yorkshire based, we used to attend Elvington TOTB with the viper club, Paul Lacey, Nadine (her bf too) and another guy who has a few vipers but brought his GTSR and big Dodge Ram truck! owned a printing business iirc. We also attending the big Rockingham cruise where we got onto the track too!!
My dads name is Tarek Ghouri incase anybody remembers
If anyone has any information on where it is please let me know. I'll try to find some pictures of it asap!

Thank you so so so much!!

I was at Rockingham too in a Gen 1, 1994 Viper, we were about to go out on track when we locked the keys in the trunk of the car!

Luckily the guys at Hayles racing knew a way into the car and saved the day for us :)

GTSR? Are you talking about the White GTS with blue stripes? (a GT2) Formally owned by Justin Bell (racing driver) Purchased by Sir Steve Kingshott, then in later years sold to the late Paul lacey? Or are you talking about the Red White striped Autoform 91 Daytona Viper? (also purchased by Sir Steve Kingshott)

no info on the DVLA website, so I guess either it has a new registration plate / it's been exported / written off (hope not)

Where in North Yorks are you? I'm in York

There is/was an owner of a red RT10 on Clifton Moor, and another (or was it the same one) for sale 4 years ago in Acomb at a van dealer

I presume that is an old advert from a long time ago? The reflection on the picture suggests you have taken a photo of an advert in a magazine.

Brilliant photo, but 14 people in the pic, plus one behind the camera = 15. Who was unlucky and had to walk? :)

Who was unlucky and had to walk? :)I think that photo was taken back in 2000 or 2001 You can clearly see me in the middle of the pic next to the open trunk of my mates RT/10 with him standing just behind me in the black trousers.

I think there may have been another GTS just out of shot.

Thanks for posting ....

Does anyone have contact details for Steve Kingshott? I've just had a huge hit of nostalgia, I grew up about 15 minutes away from the White Hart Cadnam which I believe held Viper meets on occasion. As a young boy, I used to meet at the same pub with my football team as we drove for an away game... This was my first real life encounter to Vipers, where I met Steve and his 91 Red/White Viper..... I was just a kid back then (and probably still considered one to many!), but he planted a dream into my head that I'm very close to finally realising, and would love to drop him a message.
