Looking for previous owner of my ghia

Post by Korn005 »

So I got a pink registration certificate that goes with the ghia, but the guy i bought the car from is not the same guy whose name is on the pink form. Now the search starts, as I think it would be easier to find the previous owner and let him sign the necessary documents than to try and change it through the authorities. :D

If any body can help, let me know pls. The guy I'm looking for is:

Name: F Babnik
Age: 52
Last known area he stayed: Dunvegan, Edenvale, Johannesburg
'75 Fleetline Splitty
'56 Unimog 411
'79 Unimog 416 Camper
'89 Hilux

I know a lady called Rosi Babnik - I rented a house from her in Kensington a few years ago, and we became good friends. I recall her mentioning that her parents are either in the States or Canada, last I heard she was on a tour for a few months through Southern America and the Amazon herself. Babnik is not a very common surname, what are the chances that she is the daughter of the previous owner of the car? Will see if I have any contact details for her.
