Is the owner of D997 PRN on PH??
Discussion
Hello all,
I moved from the UK to the USA about 12 years ago. My Dad just sent me a box of this and that's from the family home in Gerrards Cross, Bucks. To my surprise in the box were some old black and white photos of a TVR 350i, reg D997 PRN. I was studying photography at Watford College and we were at the stage in the course when we were learning to print our own black and white prints, colour came later. Anyways, I was in the West End one day and I came across the then London distributor for TVR, Class Cars of W1 - they were just down the road from Lamborghini. Portland Road or Street I think it was. Well I popped in and asked if I could take some pictures of the cars. To my surprise they said I could and we arranged to take a 350 out in a few days time. D997 PRN was their demonstrator and we took it out to Regents Park. At that time Class Cars only had three cars - two in the showroom and the demonstrator. I have four photographs from that day and would be very happy to email better quality copies to the current owner if so desired. They're not super fantastic but are still a nice piece of the car's history to have.
Here's one:-
Just can't believe I took that photograph 26 years ago!
I'm thinking about coming back to the TVR fold. I've been the custodian of a wonderful 1977 Lotus Esprit S1 for the last four years but I'm feeling the need for a change. I'm toying with the idea of a 280 Coupe, unfortunately no V8s here in the States. This particular car has only been driven 2800 miles and has sat in a museum for much of the last 27 years. It's in factory original condition plus it has been maintained regardless of the mileage. I know it's not the most collectible model but it's still a piece of TVR history and would be a nice car to own on a personal level.
Best to all.
