E681 GTF 350i

[jmn]

Just wondering if my old car was still in existence. Owned between 1989 and 1991. Quite a special engine as taken out to 3.9 and Group A heads. Engine built by Dennis Leech, a well known saloon car racer who campaigned a Rover Vitesse and Sierra Cosworth in the Touring Car Championship. In my ownership black with black interior piped in red.
Had a Griffith 500 about 10 years later but preferred the wedge. Reckon it was faster. Quite tempted to buy another....
The 450 SE advertised here looks nice.

E679 GTF was my first tvr. Also a black 350i . Owned by me in 2002. Wonder where and if that is still around.

According to the DVLA vehicle search 681 hasn't been taxed since 1996, 679 is currently taxed and MOTed till July/Aug this year (and is still black).

It is most likely on a private plate

GTF = Get to fk

Good point.

EDIT: That said, I've just tried it with one of my TVR's previous plates (E662 FNM) and it comes up with 'Vehicle Details Not Found'.

My dad used to have FCU on a Renault... I believe he said 'FC U' to the car once or twice

I LOVED this car ..... I was its 2nd owner back around 1990. I bought it from a guy who used it as a company car with 100,000 on the clock. I upgraded the front brakes to vented discs, replaces the rears discs, UJs, etc. Great car which was an Event every time I drove it. Did Cadwell, Goodwood, Oulton, Curbrough, Aintree track days.

I sold the car to a friend when I moved from Stafford to London. Here are some photos

I now have a Griffith but feel the need to keep it perfect. The 350i I just drove, carefree !
