I'm wondering if anyone knows the whereabouts of an early roadster that was pictured in a July 1958 Autosport photo. This photo shows an open roadster and the caption tells that it is a Climax powered TVR owned by Oliver Hart. I do not believe this to be the same car as the one located in the Filby book for various reasons. I know it isn't the 1 open radster that came to my father. I know also that it is not the open roadster currently restored in Scotland. Hoping that it has been seen somewhere in the UK in the last decade or so. Thanks for any help.
Sincerely,
Alex

Hi Alex,

There was a 'roadster' in a classic car auction several years ago at the National Exhibition Centre, here in England. We thought that Peter Wheeler was going to buy it for his 'factory heritage' museum, but he never did. It didn't reach reserve and then disappeared. I think I mentioned it to you when we last met at Woodwork!
