Hello all,

For those that don't realise, I'm the RO for the Bristol Region of the TVRCC and it's in this capacity I've been contacted by a lady trying to track down an old Vixen in time for a special wedding anniversary - apparently the car was her husbands other love and she's trying to find out what became of it!

Richard Sails from the club has been very helpful in finding out that the car was sold to someone in the Bristol area and last on the road in 1992, and has at some point been resprayed white. The registration is thought to be DVY 918K.

I've posted this in a few other places but if anyone has any other information about this car, please could they contact me or post on here?

Much appreciated

Sarah

Cheers for that, I can't see that particular one on it but I'll get in touch with the web guy and see if he can help any more.

Another idea is contact the main TVR servicers in the area like Dulfords, Neil Garner, Red Mist, etc to see if they have any records.

I think after 8 years the special anniversary would have been and gone wink

My father owned this from around 1980-83.
I’ve just googled the reg and this page came up.
I’d love to get a photo of it to show him if anyone knows who has it now?

Gov.uk shows that a new logbook was issued in 2022 so I’m hopeful it’s still on the road!
