Thanks for checking anyway, my OCD won't let me settle until I can get hold of the missing ones and will help form the small collection of TVR stuff I have to sit with my car

Slightly off-topic ; is there any market / demand for the TVR factory Christmas cards, signed by PW and other staff? I have a couple stored away somewhere, dating from the 90s.

I would imagine they would fetch a bit more than non-signed cards but the card values are pretty low - probably get £5-10 per card

Doesn't help you I'm afraid but I had 7/14 (purple tuscan). I gave it to Ian & Rachel at TorqueRVT as they have the actual car.

Quite a few pop up on eBay... I'm guessing you have an alert set up for tracking when new ones are listed?!

Hi, yes I do have an alert set up, now casting the net further and sourced one from Canada today and managed to track down 7 / 14 today as well

Oh, don't get me on collections, I've got several Tuscan and Speed 12 models of various scales.
Not forgetting of course my TVR Scalextric. laugh

Good luck with the cards.

(I wonder if Ian and Rache will give me a free service for my cards ? smile

I now have that one and reduced the number down quite a bit - feeling that the remainder will remain elusive for a long time

Thats not the issue 10 number 1 I actually need. Some of the postcards had several versions of the same issue / number - the issue 10, number 1 card I need is similar but the car is in shade and it has the roof panel on, not a particularly rare card (like all 4 of issue 8) but one I'm not seeing for sale at the moment

Sorry it's not the right one, but hopefully you can understand why I posted the link biggrin I just popped up in my 'recommend items'

There's also a 10, 2 on their too...but probably not the right one either.

I did understand and appreciate it - typical TVR to have multiple versions of the same issue and series number
