United Kingdom 2012 Range Rover Autobiography TDV8 Baltic Blue
Looking for our old TDV8 - BL57 TYF

I'm trying to find the whereabouts of my Dads old Range Rover. It was a 2007 TDV8 Vogue SE in Zermatt Silver with black leather. The registration plate of it was BL57 TYF. I've put 2 pictures of it below from when we owned it from 2007 - 2012.

The car was sold by a YouTuber in 2022 and looking on the DVLA site it's changed hands again in August 2024. It's currently on SORN with no MOT.

If you own the car or know of it's whereabouts could you get in touch with me please?





Thanks,

Does anybody have any pointers on how to go about finding this?

The MOT has expired and it’s on SORN. It’s also about time I had another project. Laughing 2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather

What about contacting said 'You tube' to start a trace, if you know who he is, he(she) should not be too hard to find / contact as they thrive on publicity.

Interesting thread start, then I noticed who wrote the thread, why am I not surprised Rolling with laughter Bow down
Good luck with the search Thumbs Up

I remember it being a nice car (probably won't be now as it's done 100k since it left us).

I've messaged the YouTuber as he's on a couple of Range Rover related Facebook groups so will wait and see if he responds. Thumbs Up

Good suggestion that was, Merchy...

I know where it went when it was sold in 2022 now. Have found the bloke who bought it in 2022 so will try and reach out to him. With a bit of luck it was him who sold it in 2024 and it's not been passed between pillar and post.

Thanks. Smile

The chap who I'm trying to contact seems to have his Facebook profile locked down so I can't message him. I'll keep trying though.

It was immaculate when it left here. It had only done around 24k miles. It was a forum member on here who bought it (Jason - JAYBOY).

I've got some fond memories of it as I hadn't been driving that long when my Dad had it.

My big sister and one of my cousins used it as a wedding car.








It's also the car that towed my Citroen XM back from Grangemouth when it was imported from Malaysia.



And this is one of the last pictures I have of it.



There's a YouTube video of it here:

Looking at that a couple of years ago I don't think it's anything like the condition it was in when we had it but it's not bad.

It's just a shame it's got no tax or MOT on it just now which is what made me start trying to find it really.

Here's my old for sale thread from August 2012.
