Details of new purchase - D 927 UEV

[bigmac2x2]

I have recently purchased a 1986 White TVR 350i - was rego'd in the UK as D927UEV.

It is now resident in Tasmania.

It was imported as a ser of 4 350i and 390i in 2009.

I have the wedge bible and the last MOT details as well as quite a deal of paperwork, however, it would be nice to know some of it's past history.

Bit of a long shot I know, but I don't Facebook or other social media (except reddit) so I have wandered here to seek some providence as i embark on her restoration.

Cheers

Greg

The DVLA here (link below) still have the export marker labelled as 'No' on their website, unfortunately. It may be an error, or it may not have been exported properly. The MoT and VED (road tax) both expired in 2007, the last V5c had been issued in 2004.

Hi Sixor,

Thanks for the reply.

I have downloaded that previously, and have been in touch with the Australian authorities about the import and it appears to be all in order, import wise.

Actually looking for information regards it's previous history, I have a receipt for a replacement engine and other bits and pieces, but no information on the engine or the any other information on it's heritage.

Thanks again and have a great week.

Great, I'm glad they felt it was OK, registering it there would have been tricky otherwise I expect.

Hi,

That's a long way from sunny Blackpool..

I guess, as you have posted the same question in a number of places, you will have seen this, probably your purchase advert?:

Perhaps contact the TVR Club (you may have to join), they may have a record of it, even the build sheet?

Happy motoring.
