I had a quite rare Wedge 1991 430SE Pearl white with dark green leather reg was J7TVR

Anyone know about it , apparently it was the 91 motor show car

I remember having that for sale at work mid/late 90's ish. Striking colour combination. Can't remember anything other than that I'm afraid.

[wombat74]

Well I might as well dive in and see if any of mine are still alive and kicking

Rosso Pearl Chimaera was on R66TVR but I kept the plate, traded into Henley in 2000

Tahiti blue Cerbera Sp6 T15EAL, traded into Henley in 2000

Rolex blue Tuscan 4.0 R66TVR traded for an Audi in 2004 (Don't ask!)

My first Griff 500 in ocean haze, '95 reg M535DBY. I traded it in at Yarnolds in Stratford when I bought my new Griff in '99. The last I heard was when I received a parking ticket for it a few months after I had given it to Yarnolds.

I have been unable to find this on the dvla site for years.

Mike, I just looked and think it no longer exists. A couple of my Ms from the 70s are still shown (RUK 562L and OAD 831M) and although they haven't been taxed for years they still appear. Sorry.

350i wedge 1989 F709 HLG Red anybody have any History on her

[SL500]

Hi Mr Chopper

I think that is the Cerb that I used to own. Halocyn rose (Pink to some) Red interior. Has bee sting twig on roof at back, and used to have armafend. Went like s... off a shoval. Was owned by the Grand Designs man off the TV Kevin McCloud. Great Car!!! Traded it in a few years ago for a Yellow 350t. The most horrible car I have ever owned and with that nasty speed six engine. I think this one went up north when it was sold.

Missing the Cerb and so I am buying another one. A 4.5 this time with that lovely V8 AJP engine.

Still have my first resting in the garage. Black Taimar SE, SLL 324R. I've owned for 12 or 13 years. Bought from a bloke who trained policemen how to handle firearms. He bought it from a Sheffield based policeman who I believe bought it from a Toyota dealer in Sheffield. Amazingly I managed to find the bloke who'd traded it in to buy an MR2. Well he was getting on in years. Anyway, I rang this bloke up out of the blue, like one does, and during the conversation I mentioned the Taimar diff was in urgent need of replacement. He only had one sat in his garage he'd bought years ago as a spare. What better excuse to drive to Sheffield and meet him. Top bloke.

Nice thread.

Not any more Andy , I had to let her go to fund a years holiday in Cyprus. I saw her in the classifieds last year too so she's moved on again probably.

Anyone know where she is now, I'd love to know a PHer has her! Halcyon Atlantis 4.5 Cerb, R24 BLC.

Sh*te, not another one... Sounds like there's a definite trend of these beasties confusing internal with spontaneous combustion...

[sparkypete]

Anybody have any info on my metallic silver V8s, it was on a private plate G8PSP during the 90s and is now back on its original plate of J352 *HV.

Have specifically asked the technician who is putting my engine back in, to replace the fuel line in the engine bay if there was even the slightest concern after checking it. I dropped by a couple of weeks ago to check on progress and lo and behold, he pointed at a new fuel line covered in a protective braid to ensure no holes would get rubbed in it when on the move.

They're wonderful cars if you're prepared to do the development work the factory couldn't afford to spend on them.
