Hi All,

Not sure if this is an allowable post, but, I am trying to find my dads old 1990 TVR S2 (Grey with grey interior) and ultimately buy it back.

He bought it about 25 years ago and we sold it around 2010 - which we shouldn't of.

I have a Chimera now but I also really want to try and buy his old car back for nostalgic and sentimental reasons. I have alerts set up on the usual car sale websites and have found out it changed hands a year ago, it is still insured and MOT ran out at Christmas.

Would it be permissible to put a picture of it on here with the the reg to see if any folk know of it? I appreciate it could be a violation of data protection hence why I haven't put it on here straight away!

Any thoughts?

Many thanks,
David

Found it, bought it back (For twice what I sold it for!), now getting it sorted. Still looks, sounds and drives great.

Scratches still on it from when i was a kid getting my BMX out my dads garage (plus numerous other memorable 'features').

Mum and Dad can't believe it's back and also chuffed to bits.

Road trip via Route Napoleon to the Monaco Grand Prix next year already booked, accompanied by a great friend in his Chim.

Happy days.

Sold the Chim, time to sell the Cerb i've recently restored (not so happy!)
