I've recently bought his old cerb so I thought I'd say hi and see if he had any history on her. Think he sprints a purple griff now?

He does, not sure how often he visits PH though. You might be able to conact him via the TVRCC speed championship forum at http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/T if you want to get in touch.

What do you wish to know/ I can pass on messages to him if you wish.

I know a fair amount about the car/ Matt is a very friendly bloke beyond healthy competition!! hehe

I tend to only see him during the motorsport season, but I could get in touch with him if its urgent/ if you really want to get hold of him. Hell, we have his old wheels from that car (bought off James!) sitting in our shed... must get round to buying some sticky tyres.

Edit: as far as I know, he doesnt visit PH, he is always very busy!!

Thanks Ben it is a dark blue cerb. It wasnt that urgent that I contacted him I just wanted to say hi and see if he had any info on the car that wasn't included in the reciepts that came with it. I was hoping that he was the owner who had the engine rebuilt last year and if he could tell me why and whether it was a straight rebuild or whether it was built to a high spec. The work was done at tvr and they weren't at all helpfull when i rang for details! rolleyes
