Whats the score with the ALD registrations on the G plates?
I have one and have noticed quite a few others. Mine is 45, there is a 44 for sale on ebay Gerald-TVR has 39, was it a job lot of pre registered during the early 90's recession?
Would be interested to know how many are out there.

Isn't it a David Gerrald thing.
Nope G39 ALD was sold by TVR Centre Arkley, Herts, so nothing to do with David GeraldAlthough Arkley (Barnet) is in Herts, the local DVLA office is Stanmore (Middlesex / NW London).
Got a great app on my iphone called mycarcheck. It allows you to tap in a search on any reg number and it gives the car details:

interesting stuff, so my old S2, G42 ALD has been exported?
I owned this car from 2003 to 2005 if memory serves me right, I sold it after spending a lot of time and money on it, as you do, to a chap in Romsey, and soon afterwards found it advertised on Coys auction site, went for £4800 I believe.
time to reminise with a couple of pics

I think your source is pretty unrialable, most of those cars on your list are 2.9lt, and shows them as 2.8lt.
No, it is correct. TVR Engineering didn't alter the registered name of the cars from "280S" to "290S" until later in production, so many S2's have the earlier designation on the V5.If any of you have an iPhone download the mycarcheck app. It's pretty good fun and you can search for your perfect plate to see if it's assigned to a vehicle. I have 2 plates I would love to own, one is on a Bentley Continental the other on a citroen Berlingo!!! It also gives you basic info on a vehicle, good fun if any of your friends have a debadged car and claim it has a juicier engine
Bit late in the day, but as the original owner, I can confirm that the S2 was bought and registered from the TVR Centre in Barnet. The S3 came out not long after. 'G39 ALD' was the plate given to the car and is no way meant to represent 'GERALD'. The original colour was described as magenta. The dash I opted for - which you tend not to see in the photos - was in walnut, which was unusual at the time. I also went for the S1 OZ wheels as I preferred these to the spoked ones that were offered with the S2.
