Mica Blue '92 Griff 400 Reg J842 LPO (with 500 nosecone/lights), went off to the Southampton area IIRC. Are you out there son?

Cant remember the reg on my old 350i, so will have to dig out some photos.
Nick (Funbar) has my old cerbie, a special bulit for the guy who owned Vision Express and a friend of Peter Wheelers. Keep looking after her Nick smile
hehe wondered when you'd show up on here Dave smile

Im looking after him, but he isnt doing the same to me. Just this second nursed him home with what I think is slave seals (again!). That apart, he is loving the track time smile

I should be asking "where's the previous owner of my TVR now"

The previous owner of my Cerb seemed to "like" it so much that he's refusing to
part with the service history for it.

And I'm minding the car better than he ever did.

My first TVR was a wild oyster Chimaera 4.0l, originally T685 JCX, now T2 GJN - anyone know of it's whereabouts?
Nubbin, the car seems to be registered under T685 JCX and as 'beige'!
Interesting. My Autocheck came up with the above mentioned plate - has it been switched back/sold again? Beige is I suppose a short description of a rather more interesting colour - It was a demo/showroom car at Harrogate when I walked in with the intention of ordering a 4.5 in TVR purple - saw this one and had to have it!

I used to own a red 400SE wedge H545 KOP. As Mike Smash would have said "it was mungus!" Anyone know where it is? I bought it from Fernhurst and before that it belonged to a Jack Acres. I have seen it a few times in TVR books and she (are TVRs shes??!!) was even a centrefold in Classic Cars a couple of years ago.It was immaculate and made a truly wonderful noise. Loved every minute of owning it and never had a single problem and travelled all over France and north of England in her. Traded it on my 30th birthday for number 51 of 100 of the LE Griffiths, which I sold last October but I am buying back this weekend! I am addicted.

I had a 350 wedge - E 696 DEO, a blue griff 4 Litre ( written off in 1996 and put back on the road.)
Next a 1994 Porsche Speed Yellow Griff 500 with Black leather and hood, next a 1996 Gallio Fly Griff 500 with Red half hide and blue carpets and hood, next a 1997 Renault yellow griff 500 with navy blue hide. Next a Gallio Fly 1997 Cerbera 4.5 with black hide and my last cerb is currently for sale at Peninsula.

All bar the wedge, the last Griff and the last Cerb should be the far side of 60K on the odo

All have a tale to tell, and I'm happy to recount.

I'm no party pooper but,is this really a good idea for a topic?
What I mean is, if I wanted to clone a car's identity for instance.... whistle

It happened to a mate of mine very recently. A lot of it about folks.

Careful now!!

How does cloning work? Are unusual cars in unusual colours at great risk from cloning? The information most people are giving on here (colour and Reg no) are available to everyone on the road when these cars are driven so is this thread so risky? Am I realy naive and if so can someone tell me why this thread is so foolish?

The only problem with this thread is that no one is actually admitting to owning the cars now whistle
