Michael,
I've got that TopGear magazine infront of me, not Clarkson but one of the journo's in as you say a silver 4.2 with red leather race a Tornado. Different plate though "B16 AJP" but I suppose that was snapped up long ago but seems like it could be the same car.
Good luck with the search.
BTW The jet won.
Cheers
David

8 previous owners, there was always a chance one of them was going to lose the paperwork

Reg of the silver TVR was P377 AWY. I think the reg qouted in the mag was one of the private plates it had previously - i know this because i put a deposit on it today (sorry travelling man). If anyone does have any info on the car can they please let me know before i exchange my hard earned cash on Saturday!.
