Default Black series 2 rs turbo F552 TWC

Evening people. I'm trying to track down my old black series 2 rs turbo F552 TWC. I sold her nearly 10 years ago to a chap in the Basildon area. I've done a bit of research and it has'nt been scrapped, it was last taxed in 2008 and it's had a colour change to white. I have fond memories of the ol' girl and I'd love to buy it back and restore her to it's former glory. I know I'm looking for a needle in a hay stack but if anyone has any info it'll be most appreciated.

I think I was the forth owner. I rebuilt the engine shortly after I bought it due to a big end letting go. Fitted low comp pistons, arp bolts, kent cam, pace intercooler, hybrid turbo, scorpion exhaust. Ran 22psi of boost and made about 200bhp. I clocked up about 50k hard miles over 18 months and it never missed a beat. Looking back I wish I never sold it

Don't know who painted white. But according to the dvla it's been changed from black to white. But that's coming from the dvla. Lol.
