Remember the scrap men don't like them to much plastic and not enough steel hence unless a total write off probably stored away somewhere it amazes me how every year lost cars appear out of the woodwork don't gibe up looking there will be a trail try and find a previous owner and work from there

Thank you Andrew, I read these messages that you all have given time to read & respond, so I must do better and keep trying (sounds like my school report !)

Thank you

You know the chassis number? I own a white vixen 2500.
Hi Johndvh, thank you for contacting me.

I dont have the chassis number, I will have to be subtle and ask my better half if he has any information. Although my gut feeling is, we haven't got it, as I do most of the paper work etc.

But leave it with me and I'll try to get the info.

Thank you once again for contacting me.

Regards
Me

Submit a V888 on the reg.number with the dvla and maybe you'll get the chassis number?

Morning !

Wow, Thank you Chris / Mr Tiger firstly for posting a message to let me know it was on eBay but also for remembering me and my quest. Honestly I cannot thank you enough. I can’t believe it’s appeared on eBay. I’m so excited and happy.

I emailed the guy to see if I can go and see the car. Whether or not I’ll be able to bid for it, I’ll wait to see how the auction will go.

I’ll keep you posted to how it turns out.
Thank you once again.
Trish

Hi Trish,

Glad to have been of help.

I don't have much of a memory, it's just that I'm trying to track down records of all of the right hand drive 2500s that were built.

When I spotted the 2500 on eBay yesterday, I checked some notes and realised it might the car you've been searching for.

I should thank you really. It's probably your post from a few years ago that alerted me to the car in the first place.

It would be great if you could buy it back. Maybe fate is on your side!

I'm not sure if the personal message feature still works on PistonHeads. If it does, drop me a PM and I can send you the chassis number, if it's of any use.

You mentioned that you may have other photos of the car. Any chance you could post some please. It would be great to see them.

I hope the viewing and potential purchase goes well.

All the best

Chris

Strange roll bar fixing point - looks a tad non structural !

Good luck with the purchase OP - hopefully the seller will do a deal direct and see it’s the right thing to do in the circumstances !

No unfortunately.
We tried several times to make contact with the person advertising to ask to call us so we could find out more about the car, or if he owned/held the log book etc. before the only day of seeing it was Tuesday, but he never responded.
I thought it was too risky didn’t place a bid.

Really sad and disappointed. But so happy it’s still out there.
I’ll try one more time to ask if he could past on my contact info to the new owner to make contact.

Thank you for thinking about my quest.

Worth persevering with it, it certainly wasn’t risky and it went for a very low price - and it’s worth more than £9k to you anyway I would presume?

It sold well, just shows the market is still good for decent projects! I wonder if Pokhara secured it!

Evening Everyone,

Thank you so much of thinking of me with regards to our old TVR, much appreciated.

Mr Tiger, Chris I havent forgotten about the photos it just they are in the attic somewhere! I will send you them soon.

No, unfortunately I didn't entertain the bidding. Still no news on the log book, and the guy didn't respond when we asked about the it. It isn't meant to be, I just hope who ever got it, treats her well and loving. Sentimental I know.

Thank you everyone.
Take Care in theses bunker times.
