My 430 Chim that is , not me.To celebrate were off to the Le Mans Classic next week. So does anyone remember the old girl. Obviously shes one of the first few. Number 17 I believe. Originally registered as K282 BOH then J18 MSM, then ERN 11W. Shes been a bit of tart and had lots of previous owners. Im hoping someone out there will know more of her history.
Thanks

Yep looking at the service book it was from Team Central. First service signed by Barrie M King.
Then in 1996 she moved to Edinburgh and a company serviced it called The Brandon Motor company. Then in 97 she was clearly too cold up there so was serviced at Brooklands TVR in Exeter. Last stamped service was by Fernhurst Motor Company in Surrey.

More speed should cure that.

Well managed to get it down to 21 MPG. Got back from Le Mans this morning. 1238 Miles in total, never missed a beat, even with very hot weather in LM, no overheating at all. What an icredible event LM was. Must do it again.
