Andrew, a great list but could you go further & list how many & types there are in each country. It would involve us owners supplying you with the info. I know you will never get the complete list but even so it would be very interesting.
To start with: TVR 3000M C/N 3564FM Western Australia

There are believed to be 23 TVRs in Norway. I can supply chassis numbers, owners names and some technical details for most of them.

Pre 80s are;

One 61 Grantura mk2/2A
Two Vixens, mine and a '71 2500
Two Tuscans, one wide bodied and both '70
Two '73 2500s
Four 3000 versions ranging '78-79. One ot them being a Turbo.

Wasn't there a Orange Vixen for sale in The Czech Republic a year ago?

There was a Vixen S1 for sale in Hungary back in April and there is a TVRCC member from New Zealand with a Vixen 2500.

New Zealand - Mine is a Vixen S3 , but with a 2.8V6 Cologne, 5 speed box (ex-Granada), and TR6 diff, so is a bit of a mix.

There is quite a few more in Sweden but unfortunately the club registry on the web is not really up to date when it comes to being friendly for searching. There are a couple Griffiths, Tuscans and 1800S cars. Also several Granturas of various years. I don't know how many Vixen and M-series but definitively more than a handful. A guess would be around 20 pre M-series cars.
If we can get Kalle Puhr to read this thread I'm sure he can give a better estimation

My old '71 Vixen S3 went to Japan about 5 or 6 years ago.

Hello.
Does anyone know the numbers of 3000M and Taimar models still on our UK roads please? The Howmanyleft website doesn't have the details for these models alas.
Many thanks in advance.

I remember once seeing a photo of an internal car-park on the back page of a Tamiya catalogue (1990 approx). In the photo there was a Grantura.

I wrote to Tamiya enquiring if they were going to do a kit of it but they wrote back that they weren't - pity.

The car-park was probably in Japan.
