Got back on Saturday from my Holiday in Switzerland and guess what we found parked in front of the Credit Suisse building in Locarno.



LH Drive as well and very nice condition - anyone here?

Big M - bet it brought a little tear to your eye and made you feel proud to be British. Did you sing Rule Britannia?

PS I suppose my card's in the post.

Oooops - sorry Jigs - didn't have your home address so didn't send you a postcard mate. However, if you talk nicely I am sure one of our cats will let you have one of theirs.

Nope Bacardi - left the teeth behind. In fact I have put them somewhere safe at home and can't find them now - doh.

Used to be a garage in Basel who imported/ dealt in TVR - he had Chimaeras and Griffiths in LHD - I drove a Griff he had a number of times back in '98. There was also a bloke called Tom at UBS where I worked who had his 4.5 Cerbera made legal in Switzerland (required a few mods including change to Numberplate lighting IIRC) it was an evil reflex blue-purple beasty with a sports exhaust that certainly livened up the otherwise quiet Swiss streets...

There is a place not far from me (in Basel) called the British Three Corner Land Classic Garage, that has MG's TR's the odd Healey amongst other things. I've not seen any TVR's there tho'.
Can you remember roughly where the TVR place was?
