TVR 100

[Captain Beaky]

Spotted the TVR 100 plate yesterday while on the Cross of Greet road in the Forest of Bowland. Sadly not on a TVR but a black Range Rover.

IIRC this registraion used to belong to Mole Valley...

I assume you saw a car belonging to Peter's Widow, as you where in the right part of the world. I think the last time I saw that number it was on his Bentley shortly before it was sent to Auction but the plate wasn't going to be sold.

Blackpool FC chairman or owner ? I seem to recall reading that somewhere too.

Google images on Karl Oyston shows a chap who certainly resembles the driver of the RR. I was on a bicycle at the time though so I was busy making sure I didn't ride off the edge of the cliff.

I had a look on the cover of Peter Filby's "Success against..."



and wondered if there are any news of "TVR 100", which has been used since the late sixties?

Is this driving plate still on the road in 2013?

TVR 100 was originally owned by John Kent, a factory racing driver for many years, it was then "loaned" to TVR and he never got it back - (Rupert aka Roop) will know more.

It was on the press cars, along with S6 TVR

AFAIK its still on the RR
Yes, Vicki married Karl Oyston.

Thanks for that update. Let's wait if the new owners of TVR will try to get this plate or not...
