Looking for Jeremy Smith (Shiny Nuts!)

Saturday 26th January 2019

Hi TVR folks,

I'm trying to contact Jeremy Smith who used to run Shiny Nuts and who owned a TVR Sagaris from 2005 (he may still have it?). He rented a garage from me a couple of years ago and there is still some of his personal stuff in there - I don't want to chuck it away without first trying everything I can to find him. I have a mobile number (ending in .....680), it rings but he never answers, I guess it's an old number?

Anyone know how I can get in touch with him?

Thanks thumbup

I knew Jeremy from his days with the Northants TVRCC.

Went to Le Mans with him and the Northants mob when the Tomlinson T440s finished the 24 hours.....the grandstands were a sea of purple polo shirts cheering on both cars in the last hour of the race...It was bloody hot too!

Since then I've tried to contact him myself - but to no avail. I believe Shiny Nuts was wound up too.
That wasn't very helpful - but at least someone who knew him those 10/12 years ago responded!!

if you know roughly how old he was you may be able to find him from the bunch on companies house by searching his name on officers or try linkedin etc ?

Is there a pair of ACT exhaust end can silencers there? Years and years ago I lent my pair out to either Jeremy or graham collins (can't remember which now) and never got them back! They were brand new at the time too frown

Thanks for the replies and thanks to the member that messaged me with the LinkedIn page. Sadly I've had no luck in getting any further and the stuff will have to go in the skip - I need my garage back!

I've not seen any car parts at all but if I come across any exhausts etc I will let you know on this thread.

Thanks again folks smile

I believe Jeremy used to write articles for the TVR car club magazine .. so maybe contact the car club and see if they have any contact info ?

I think the sagaris I have is his old one. Not that it helps you track him down!

dunc - Great to meet up again yesterday and thanks again for all of your help!

spitfire4v8 - definitely not guilty, I wouldn't know where to stick 'em.

nawarne - nice to hear from you, hope everything's good with you and Em!

Nikk - Hope you're taking good care of my old Saggy, great car shame about the engine...

Thanks to all of you for helping dunc, my son found the post and notified me and now I'm back in blighty...

Thanks guys, much appreciated! I sold almost 700 sets and I've got just two sets left for my next TVR, hopefully a Chimaera next year...

Them were the days, so much fun at Le Mans with the lads from Northants TVRCC and writing drivel for Sprint. And look at me doing my Simon Cowell impression...

Shiny Nuts for me also. Still as good as new (the calendar was also a treat)
