My first TVR - now deceased?

[Skyedriver]

Just had a look at the DVLA web site, my first Chimaera, M945NOP, I sold in 2002, tax expired 2013 and MoT expired April 2014.
wonder if it's sitting in a garage somewhere, in some ways surprised it lasted that long as I used it as a daily for three years, snow, rain salt etc
And no, not interested in buying it back, busy rebuilding the Caterham I built in 1990 and sold when I bought the first (of 4) TVR.

It may have been exported.

A few year ago, I did a search on my first TVR and it came up with the line 'Export Marker - Yes.' MoT and tax had expired so I presumed it was exported.

However, doing a search now, the DVLA do not provide an export marker line. They have changed the data returned.

Just hpi'd it, it's still alive and in the uk according to the dvla, maybe just someone is saving up for a rebuild or something.

Thanks
I'll keep watching for a new thread "I've decided to rebuild my 400HC"
Would be nice to see it again

Is this XV415 gate guard at RAF Boulmer?

[Skyedriver]

Correct, Boulmer circa 2003

Probably a good analogy, Phantom and a TVR. Both are very loud, fast, drink copious amounts of fuel, slide round corners but they're both brilliant.
