Has anyone seen my car???

[SharkyTVR]

Hey guys, been MIA for about a year and wondered if the guy who now has my beloved pride & joy Trevor checked in here at all in that time. I do know it has had 2 owners since myself and the current one has replaced the private plate 'K14NKY' with the original 'K495RFR ?' The one guy I know had it straight after me has said a guy in Essex now owns it.

It's a 4.0L Chimeara in pearl white/pink with black/white leather interior with pink stitching, it has the speed 6 headlight conversion. It also had a nice audio install in the parcel shelf bit so stands out from the crowd.

Reason I'm looking is it was liquidated when I was forced to close my business & I'd like to see if there's a chance of me getting him back. Long story but like all our pride and joys out there it holds major sentimental value to me as I spent so much time, money and effort on the full restoration.

If anyone knows where he is out there please let me know!

Piccy


Thanks
Lizzy xx

Hi Lizzy I seem to remember it being up for sale with a baliff type person 9 months ago for £3000 ish

[SharkyTVR]

...it's K563 RFR lol

[SharkyTVR]

Bloody hell! Thanks, I'll keep searching...

[LordGrover]

Was that a press car? I seem to remember that's the one on the cover of Autocar.
I remember it because my Griff was K565RFR.

[LordGrover]

Psst. The link to your website is broken .co.uk works though.

[SharkyTVR]

Oh lol whoops, yeh that's the company I liquidated so yeh the websites pretty dead now, bad times! Thanks for the heads up, I've updated my profile

[tonys]

White/pink, with white/black leather and pink stitching I was getting a bit concerned until I looked at your profile 'Lizzy'

I do wonder, though, whether that colour scheme wouldn't be better suited to a Griff?????

Lizzy, glad to here your still around, don't be a stranger to our meets. We're at the Cat at Enville on sunday for a BBQ, weather permitting!

Lol yes I'm a girl pink is acceptable thought it was a nice compromise as TVRs are usually so manly! I'm beginning to worry if it is the same now though - the first guy who had it didn't seem to like anything according to his posts on here especially my hideously expensive Dakota Digital dials I imported from the USA, I think he replaced them with standard ones...I want to cry lol

I'm hoping to pop to the meet on Sunday - if you'll excuse my tiny Tigra scruffing up the view

God I hope I find Trev soon...lol

That was my first thought, I have tried searching for the thread that cropped up about it but searching on PH is like throwing sand into a jet engine and looking for a specific grain.
I think it was purchased and then the restoration had started with taking the dash apart.

[SharkyTVR]

Yes he's adamhart66 on here & I found his posts about the dash *cringe* from last year I remember him emailing me on Facebook with an essay of questions about the car but I was in a bad place at the time & any mention of it let alone talking to the guy who had it was about as painful as seeing your ex you still love with their new partner lol

It may however now be sporting an aluminium dash instead of my carbon one-that's not altogether that bad. But oh if it has the standard dials back in.....sob!!!

I've been informed that it may have visited the Surface & Design crew for a respray? Even though it was freshly painted less than 2 years ago. This lead I shall follow up lol

When I clicked on this post I thought it would be the English version of 'Dude, where's my car?'.

Unfortunately, I don't remember seeing this car. Sorry, and good luck with the search.

[SharkyTVR]

Lol thanks, yeh that would have been funny! Got drunk and lost it...I wish!! Haha

This went through auction at the end of last year. Watched it on ibidder, sorry I can't give you anything else, but am 99% sure it was the liquidation sell off. Was still wearing the private plate.

[Byker28i]

I remember that car, was chatting to you and all the work you did on it back at a karting event.
