bruciebonuz Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 And another one.....any help appreciated - I still cant track it down and signing up to the police force is a step too far! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 The police can only do it for bona fide reasons. However I'm sure there is flex in this statement. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bruciebonuz Posted September 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Hi all, I am still looking! No luck so far despite a few further efforts with magazine pieces etc. Any help appreciated. Thanks Jonathan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nowtelse2do Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Hi Jonathan. If you have a bona fide reason (which I think you have) then you need a V888 form from either the Post Office or the DVLA (you may be able to print one off). Fill it in and send it to the DVLA. Depending on what you want to know, there is a set fee of either £2.50p or £5. Hope this helps, let us know if you are successful. Good Luck. Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gerry40 Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Just picked up on this thread and I own 6181 RW and have done since Oct 1989, it was used as a press vehicle and also I found out that the first owner displayed on the Heritage Trace was non other than Donald Stokes ( Director of Standard Triumph ) at the time. I wrote to him in the early 90's and he replied to tell me that he taught his son to drive in the car as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR 2100 Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Good news that another TR4 with history has come to light. Owners keep their TR4s a long long time! AlanR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barry p cook Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Hi Jonathan, Apologies, I've only just seen your original post. Great to have another HF owner on the TR forum. Regards, Barry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TorontoTim Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Nice, Barry. Rallied against a couple of these over the years - very attractive cars. Now, if only it was rear-wheel drive... ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bruciebonuz Posted January 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Still looking for this car!! Haven't given up! Did sell the Fulvia though....sadly it went to the US. Tempted by another one, but have an old 911 at the moment. Really hope I can find the TR4 one day. Would love to use it properly - rallies etc. DVLA is a closed door now for such enquiries - not a chance now with data protection tightening. So am in the arms of Lady Luck!!

RogerH Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Hi Jonathon, regarding the GDPR - when contacting the DVLA have you asked them to contact the owner and pass on your contact details. If no good on the phone go to the offices and speak to somebody in person. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Barry Raynes Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 On 8/7/2010 at 5:44 PM, bruciebonuz said: Dear all, I am a new member and am looking for a TR4 that belonged to my late father in the 1960s when he was wooing my mother in Cardiff in the late 60s. I have a photo of mum sitting on the bonnet! Apparently according to the DVLA the car does still exist, is blue and has recently been relicensed. Any help in finding this car would be hugely appreciated. I am a classic car fan and own a racing Fulvia HF. Again, any help would be very much appreciated by my brother and I. I am in Harpenden in Herts. Registration is "9067 RW" and its a 1962 car.

Mike59 Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 Update in 9067 RW. My uncle acquired the sad remains of this car in the late 80's and restored/saved the car from certain fate giving it a full rebuild using I believe a rust free shell from the states. At the time the car was restored to a very high standard and finished and on the road MOT'd in 1990. My uncle was off an age where he did not then drive or use the car and and only covered possibly a hundred miles or so over the next 30 years. I was aware my uncle owned the TR4 but did not know the registration number. My uncle sadly passed away in 2012 and the car was kept in a garage along side a 1956 Bentley R Type which was laid up to rest in 1971. Unfortunately the Tr4 suffered whilst in storage from a leaking roof until the Grandsons decided to cover it with a waterproof cover, good idea unfortunately the car was still wet inside so suffered from the dampness until I bought the car from my Auntie in March 2021. Anyway the car was in a sorry state, micro blistering too paintwork, rusty chromework, mouldy carpets, seized engine/ brakes/ Clutch rotten brake pipes, radiator, new tyres which were flat and perished and various electrical switches which didnt work etc. Anyway I'm glad to report a sympathetic reccomisioning was done and the TR returned to the road in Late June 2021 still showing a few scars from it long term storage and neglect and is enjoyed with it's rebuilt engine and fitted overdrive ( thanks Pete and Tom ) along with my other two TR's. The car is basically standard and I've driven and restored 20 or so TR's over the last 45+ years and I've got to say it one of the most enjoyable cars I've ever driven. A credit to my uncle's restoration he did some 30+ years ago. I have spoken with Johnathan on a number of occasions and sent him pictures of the car now, he has also sent me some photo's of the car when his dad owned the car one which showed his mom sitting on the bonnet which I would guess was taken in the 60's/70's before his parents were married. The car has covered about 600miles since being back on the road and hasn't missed a beat. Mike. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ralph Whitaker Posted November 27, 2021 Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 Good to hear Johnathan has finally tracked down his dads old TR. I keep seeing cars with RW registrations and would love to get my hands on one as my initials. Ralph Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike59 Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Hope to enjoy the Tr4 for a good few years in my ownership until I decide to part with it and then it will be passed over to Jonathan who I'm sure would like to own his dad's car as he is clearly passionate about classic cars and will use it as it should be. Hopefully the registration number will always remain with the car as it has no value as far as I'm concerned unless it remains on the original car. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ralph Whitaker Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 I wasn`t touting to buy the number, like you I think a number should be kept with a vehicle, after all Johnathan would not have been able to find his dads old car without it. I bought R111PHS several years ago which I used on various work vans, currently on retention, but it was an un issued number straight from DVLA. I look now and then, but when RW numbers do turn up they are usually too expensive. Ralph Quote Link to post Share on other sites
