Glen is that preshiel or presniel ?

[gmw9666]

Well the invoice was preshiel, but I guess it could be a typo. The original owner part exchanged a 4.0 chim for this 5.0 and transferred his p/plate TVR 100K to this one, now back on a T plate......do you know the car?

I knew a dave presniel who lived in almondbury and he always had nice cars so it could be him, he was loaded too!!

[gmw9666]

Sounds like his old motor then. Checked the invoices and the spelling of the surname varied but first name was dave, must be him

[garfys v8s]

That will be him then!! lovely car by the way silver really suits the chim in my opinion.

[gmw9666]

Looking at your profile, you've one as well :-)

[garfys v8s]

yes i love it. i am giving it a minor refresh at the moment.

[gmw9666]
