Anyone know where the following are or any that I've missed:

284JNN - red 500, had 21 (or was it 22) engines, used to be owned by mack on here, sold now though.
A15TVR (or whatever it may be now) - pastel yellow 400, first customer car, used to be owned by tweety on here but pretty sure it was sold.
J524MHG - Assume Steve Prevett still owns this? Not seen much of him on the forums.
J631NFV - may know where that is.
L110BFV - Mike - get you ass in gear and get it finished.
L118BFV - Raspberry pearl 500 press car. Was in Scotland but again pretty sure it was sold.
Green 500 press car (the one in the alley)- don't know the reg, the owner and never seen it (AFAIK).
Pete Reasons (reeso) pale blue SE press car - I know it was sold recently.
Last registered - thought it was Roger Thomas's old one (LJ03ZFZ) but I think there is a later one.
First and last SE.
Any race Griff.
Any original 60's Griff.
Have I missed any????

Would like to get them together in a dedicated area as a great photo opportunity. Did it a couple of years ago and got most of these there and it worked well.

I think Rogers was April 03 so you may well be right Nigel. At least I know you'll be there so that's 2 then.

J524 was a Growl regular and we all know about L110.
Not seen Steve for a year or two but Mongoose and Mel were there, Griffless last year.

Cheers LG. I have been at the Growl you know so actually noticed J524 was there and also Mike and Mel were there last year. I know I like a shandy but can actually remember the odd bit of the weekend. Unfortunately, I can even remember you. wink

I thought you were going to say "my Griffs been in a magazine so can I play".
I've got Steve's personal e-mail address somewhere so I'll drop him a line. Be nice to see Helene too!!

Roger's old SE appeared at the Cheddar Gorge TVRCC meet earlier this year with its new owner. Resides in Bristol area, but not seen it at a meet since. Maybe worth contacting Mrs Pitstop or Optimax Sniffer for further info. Can't remember the owners name but I'm sure he pops in here now and again.

Hi Paul,we'll defo be there as long as the date works out ok. I will make sure L110 is running and road legal but reluctant to commit to it being 'finished'. Thanks for the pm the other day by the way.

What about the flip flop 500 press car if your going for all the press cars?
I guess its a case of where do you stop really? You'd be doing well to get all the press and development cars,let alone the magazine cars,brochure cars,race cars,SE first and last etc etc...
I'd love to see the blue brochure car with the bright red interior-never heard of or seen that since the brochure was issued.

Should have been near the top of my list. Jason Cook used to own it and it was for sale but not sure if it sold?
