Evening gents and thank you for the replies.
In fact Oliver you may be able to assist further, my car as you may or may not know, was also a TVR press and publicity car and featured in a seventies girly (tits & bums) type magazine.
The reason I was trying to find the owner of XKU 3L is my son, for my birthday, managed to aquire for me a copy of Penthouse magazine from 1974 in the hope it was he copy with my car in, but, unfourtunately its not mine but XKU.

Now I can find good use for the magazine i have, but would really like to trace a copy of the mag with my car in.

I know Mr Venn has a page from the magazine in which my car featured which has a drawing of an M series car, but does anyone know what magazine and date it was published?

Jon,

I hesitate to post this but a search of Google using the terms Penthouse TVR 3000M yeilds a website that, well, appears to cater for your needs!

ehem, seems theres a market anything

ETA hmm, appears to be the one you already have.....still, no harm in looking into it in a bit more detail!

Thanks Adrian, I thought you had only the picture, not the full article.
I'll take a look at what's available, it doesn't help these mags being advertised as " pre loved", maybe I'll find a laminated copy.
Meanwhile if the current owner of the Penthouse car is about I have that magazine.

Well I've now placed an order for the Mayfare magazine, thanks Adrian. Interesting story re XKU Tony, was nothing ever sraightforward with TVR?
I wonder if the owner of JHG 891S is aware of its history, or bits of it anyway.

As an aside the article in Penthouse is titled 'What's red hot & hairy' and is by a Randolph McCook.

Its not the only hairy thing in the magazine. yikes
