History...

[R7EBO]

I know there's probably a lot of people asked this, BUT... wondering if anyone could offer any information/pictures/anything else about my car??

Just looking through the history I've got & would be cool to know any history on it or get in touch with previous owners. What I've got in my folder:

Original reg: W551 YRV
First registered: August 2000
Number of previous owners: 4
First keeper: Mr P Shrimpton, Corfe Mullen, Wimborne
Change of reg: Aug/Sept 2000 - H5PBS
Engine rebuild @ 9747 miles by TVR January 2003

Presume Mr Shrimpton had then had enough, hence;

Next known keeper: Mr Alun Sims, Yeovil, Somerset
Purchase date: 28/11/2003 from Westover Sports Cars
Change of reg: S400 MBO

Change of keeper: Mr Adam Croft, Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire
Purchase date: 20/05/2005

Change of keeper: Mr Shaun Raper, Beverley, East Yorkshire
Purchase date: 21/10/2005

It was then left to rot until I bought it 2 years ago, by which time it was in a right state - see here http://www.pistonheads.com/GASSING/topic.asp?h=0&a...

I know from invoices it's spent a fair amount of time with Westover Sports Cars and Harrogate Horseless Carriages along the way.

Any more info anyone may have would be most welcome!

No idea on the history, but well done that man from saving it from the grave.....

Been running well?

It's been running pretty good yeah thanks! Nearly 2 years of ownership now & it's been parked for about 12 months of that for one reason or another and I've still managed to clock up getting on for 20k in it!! The most recent 'saga' can be read about here...

Since this it's been amazing, although it's had a few hard runs out in the last few weeks and is now shunting quite a lot when holding a steady throttle?! Probably requires a set up again I would imagine. Still using it every single day mind
