Hi guys,
Like I've said in past posts, I imported a 350i from Ireland into the USA.
Lately I've been going through the service paperwork to get an idea of what's been replaced over the years.
While digging through the MOT forms and invoices I came across some previous owner names and wondered if they are still in the TVR family to maybe fill in timeline/ownership details
I purchased the car from Colin Prime from Bainbridge, Ireland
It looks like he bought the car from C. Wylie in 2013
There was also a name - Mr Mcpherson in 1991 but I'm guessing the he is the owner of the repair shop and ordered some of the parts for the car.
For a long period of time between 1989/90 till mid to late 2000 or so it was owned by Norman Green who lived in Wimbldon.
It had originally had a Reg of DAZ4020 and was sold by Haugins Barrow in Furness. When I imported it it's REG was E444DEO
Might any of you guys know if they are still around?
Norman Green
C. Wylie
It appears as though lots of the service history is missing as you might expect but I'm also guessing there may have been at least 2 other owners. One who bought the car new and someone between Green and Wylie.
Interesting to see if there is more!

Well the DAZ... reg. was issued in Northern Ireland and if it really was the car's first reg. then it was probably owned by someone called Darren (Daz). It may however have been re-registered with that plate later. DAZ and BAZ (Barry) are occasionally seen on British cars.
One trick that conmen of the car industry use over here is to buy a crashed car, take it over to N. Ireland, repair and re-register it there, which means it disappears from the UK's insurance database (thus hiding the fact that it's been crashed).
They then re-import to the mainland and sell it to some unsuspecting buyer...
You can write to the DVLA who, for the princely sum of 5 Queens will send you photocopies of every document they have on file relating to that vehicle; so every owner, change of reg. number, engine, colour etc.. - there's no option to do this online, unfortunately.
