Well the invoice was preshiel, but I guess it could be a typo. The original owner part exchanged a 4.0 chim for this 5.0 and transferred his p/plate TVR 100K to this one, now back on a T plate......do you know the car?

Sounds like his old motor then. Checked the invoices and the spelling of the surname varied but first name was dave, must be him
