Velo-felo Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 well its possible I got the reg number slightly wrong.. unfortunately I don't have any surviving photos or details, perhaps the current owner Rob has some history to confirm or not it was once mine? anyone have his contact details?

stuart Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Robs contact details are in the Action magazine under group leaders in the back part of the mag. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alfietom Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Seems a real coincidence with the numbers so close - Cornish registered car - Probably from Hicks in Truro Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Velo-felo Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Yep it's my old TR6 ! I found I'd written the reg number down in the Haynes manual I had at the time and it is definitely GVC 221L.. So thanks to you for finding it. I haven't seen it for at least 33 years as I sold it just before I got married in 1980. I'll contact Bob and see if he wants to sell it back to me at the price I sold it for It's a good feeling to know its alive and well. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
D1070 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 the very same Stuart Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Er I think you still need to check that number again as the number you are giving would be a Coventry registered car. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Velo-felo Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Well the reg I have written down as mine is definitely GCV 221L, regardless of where it was registered. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 OK I was just going by the post I highlighted where you had quoted the same number as on the title of this thread. CV registrations are from Cornwall and as Simon has pointed out probably supplied by Hicks garage in Truro. Sadly no longer in business. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobIsaacson Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Unfortunately it doesnt seem to be on the DVLA so either long gone or still hiding in someones shed. Stuart. It's been doing 3k miles per year for the last several years and definitely not hiding in a shed The picture above was taken in Cornwall last year by Julian Stephens who works at Heligan. I wanted to take the car for a trip "back home" so spoke to the Cornwall group in advance. We were supposed to meet up for a run but the rain was awful all week, we didn't take the roof down once. Steve, you will have a PM shortly... Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Velo-felo Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Thanks Rob, e mail sent. All the best, Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
