Where's My Car?

[rdv]

Hi Evan,
So the register could help you, unfortunately this is bad news!

But it shows, that all informations regarding junkyard or parted out cars should be included into the register too!
I am waiting for your input!

Well, after years of searching, I think I found my car and it's not a happy ending. I found this:

VIN: ZFRAS00B4D5502040. Found in Rockville MD. Crushed in 01/2017. Reported by John Erskine, FIAT Rescue League.

I guess it met its demise in 2017. Sad. I really regret selling it, I had restored it and she was gorgeous. Hind sight can be cruel.

What is the "FIAT Rescue League" ?? Found nothing on an interweb search..

Hi,
John Erskine himself is the "FIAT Rescue League".

He's from Maryland and his goal is to save and rescue many Fiat Spider (and others?) as possible from to be srapped!
The worldwide Spider Register lists 5 cars in his name since 1999, I think that just a portion of all of his supervised cars.

Cheers Ralf
