From the reg plate, it looks like it was either a Racing Green car or Henley Heritage. Might be worth calling them to see if they can shed any light? As they are quite a specialist car most dealers remember the person who bought it. HTH

Something to note about Driven Image is they are not TVR specialists. If I was to buy a TVR from these guys I would have to get it checked over by someone who knows the model well.

OK. Thanks for that. I'd heard it was in Bristol. I'm going to have a look at it and a couple of others.

I bought a Tamora from him last September. I used HHC to inspect it before I bought the car and so far it has turned out to be a good car (touching wood)Don't expect "Main Dealer" standards of preparation though i.e full valet, paintwork rectified etc.

I saw it a couple of times around Yate, very nice looking. IIRC the guy sold it to Driven Image.

After a bit of digging this was the one.

The car in question was delivered down south so im sorry the car wasnt pristeenly clean when it arrived to you. All of our vehicles are fully valeted and i invite any inspection to our premesis

Specialising in tvr is what we advertise, When 50% of our stock is tvr why can i not say we are specialisng in tvr ?

When I say your not a TVR specialist I mean with regards servicing/rebuilds problem solving etc, you are as you say a "Specialist" in selling/stocking the model. Sorry if I caused offense. But as you rightly state! have it personally inspected for peace of mind.

I liked the car but it was a bit too black for me and had had 2 owners and only came with a 6 month warranty and the 12k service had been carried out by a non specialist (in the recognised sense). Nicely presented car though and I'm sure it will make someone a happy bunny.

My cousin bought a car from them about 6 months ago, an Audi RS4 avant. Fair enough, not a TVR, but it's an absolutely cracking car, and he was really pleased with the service he got from them. He said they seemed very knowledgeable about TVRs.

I bought my T350C from Driven image at the back end of last year.

The service I received was very good. There were a couple of niggling issues before purchase with the radiator which were all sorted out by Craig (the guy that runs it) and although not having the sort of resources a main delaer would have he made sure the car was sorted for me.

I did my homework with Automedon - who had serviced the car from new and they knew it inside out and told me any bad points (there were very few), and I am very happy so far.

Driven Image are not a TVR specialist but Craig takes his business very seriously and that personal touch is something I have never had when buying a car from BMW or other dealers (not had exp of TVR dealers btw).
