Hi,


I'm a member of TVRCC Belgium and TVRCC UK. I bought a V8S in The Netherlands in 2018. It had 2 previous owners. The first owner was based in Italy, the second in Germany. I'm currently putting the car's history together and would like to know if you could help me to find the former Italian owner. The car is British/Brooklands Racing Green and has an oxblood red interior. It was built in '93 and first registered in Italy in' 95.

Through the TVR CC UK I received following information. Car was collected from the Factory on 11-Oct-93 by a certain Christiano Tentori. Not sure if he was a dealer or owner. Car was only first registered in Italy in October '95. I was not able to find more details on Mr. Tentori.
Mr. Tentori's address as recorded by TVR was/is Via San Francesco 43, Inarzo, Varese 21020, Italy

Many thanks in advance, best regards and enjoy the winding roads.

You could try contacting Alvis at;
https://www.tvrblog.com/

He runs his TVR Cars Unofficial Blog and is based in Italy.
Very nice chap.

I don't think that anyone else in Italy knows more about TVR's and who, where and why they are in Italy.
He has Registers of who has what cars on his web site so may be able to look back in time for you.

Good luck.

A Google maps search of that address for Mr. Tentori. puts you outside a company called 'Story Car' http://www.storycar.it/Storycar/Storycar.html Who are a British car specialist.

Has to be the best place to start.
