Hi

This car was also used as a TVR company car, and was used a lot by Dave Bentley the Yellow Beast's main mechanic.
It's a nice colour combo!

Cool.

His login is Digga951.

Will take serious money to part him from that car.

Not after buying the Car, or fishing for work.

I have sent the owner an e-mail thankyou all for the quick responses smile

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the heads up - I've now made contact with Mike regarding my car.

I've not been on here much lately due to moving house and work commitments, but hopefully I'll be able to contribute to the forums again in the near future.

Got lots of niggles to sort out on the car, including an inch of movement in the steering bush, cold start problems, dropped doors, misfire at 5k, heater that makes noise without generating air movement - just the usual. Now I finally have the space, work will begin in the next week or so!

Thanks again,

Dan.

The first TVR I ever drove was D434 VFR, a silver 350i, in about 1992... I knew the reg. sounded familiar. I have a couple of pics somewhere but the only one I've found so far has the reg plate cut off rolleyes
At the time I worked in auto security and we'd had it in for an alarm/ immobiliser (might have been a Vecta as they were the dogs' danglies at the time)... the boss didn't want to risk leaving it in our glass-fronted workshop overnight so I had to drive it to Middlesbrough (yes, the car crime capital of the north at the time confused) to park it in a lockup until the customer came for it.
A week or two later I drove a Nissan 300ZX: a complete turbo nutter bast4rd of a thing that had about as much soul as a Micra. When the time came that I had the funds, I bought a Wedge biggrin

Aha, found it:



That's me aged... a lot younger than I am now frown
Rather darker in the mullet department too...
All those fab. shops in the far background are long gone, replaced by call centres and seats of learning. I blame Maggie.
