Hi.

Just wondering if anyone on here owns, or knows where E325KUL is now.

There may or may not be a thread on here somwhere about the car.

It was a Black Sport.

If the owner is on here, and knows the history, then you'll probably know why I'm asking, if you don't know the history, then I may have a nice suprise for you.

I do know the car still exists!

It's not insured currently.. Not a good start.

Seemingly that it no longer exists..

I want to see if I can find out where it is, or what happened to it, before I reveal why.

Someone on here, who into interesting histories may know.

adit or magpie probably have the plates hanging up in their shed

I knew it was still around in 2010, I would love to know what became of it.

I may even buy it, if its dumped somewhere.................

Maybe it is time to reveal the suprise to get more interest?

Some of you on here may remember a late 1980's pop star called Rick Astley.

Well in 1987, Rick had just reached No1 in the charts with his song "Never Gonna Give You Up" and as a reward for his hard work Pete Waterman told him he could choose a car as a treat.

Rick being Rick, a down to earth bloke, he chose a BMW 325i Sport, instead of a Ferrari etc etc! So they promptly ordered one.

When it arrived it was registered E325 KUL.

At the time Rick, was a friend, and I used to work for his Dad, and I remember the car well. A year or so ago, I did the DVLA search, and it was still on the road in 2010. So I hoped one day, I may see it again, even buy it maybe!

So there you go, the suprise is out, and no doubt, value added to the car if I wanna try and buy it.

Some people probably won't be bothered by this as he was only a cheesy 80's popstar, but that car was special to him, and to me too, I loved it!

And I'd love to own it now, and bring it back to Newton-Le-Willows

If anyone knows what became of it in January 2010, even if you broke it up, please let me know.

Cheers.

Nice tale

Next time I see Pete Waterman, I'l ask him.

I never thought of that........

I see Pete Waterman myself at railway events fairly regularly, and although he parted company with Rick after a short time he may know.

In fact, he's into cars himself, he may have it!!!!!

I haven't seen Rick around town for at least 10 years now, so can't ask him.

I don't think Pete will know where the car is

I work on the railway and I see Pete lurking about alot.

First time I met Pete was a cab ride in a 390.

my cab has a very similer reg its f325

I too work on the railway for my sins.

It may be an avenue to follow, as I'd love to know what happened to it, since my interest in E30s has been re-kindled.

Cheers.
