Andrew Smith Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 I bought SUV 407F as an unfinished project (complete rolling bodyshell (no paint)) from Crown Classic Cars (Twickenham) for £5,000 in late 1993. I finished it off to an extremely high standard in about 1998 (minus interior) and spent a small fortune on it in the process(!) - I repainted it Signal Red rather than it's original Royal Blue, and in hindsight it was a decision I regretted. SUV 407F had previously belonged to two club members; Robin Powell, who I believe bought it new and Peter Haynes (PeterH) who pretty much drove it until rust held the winning hand. If I remember correctly it was for sale in November 2006 (£15,500) and I last heard about SUV 407F when the car was seen at Brooklands in April 2007 where the radiator had boiled over - it would be nice to know if current owner is a TRR and/or Forum member as I have some photos he/she may like - some below: As owned by Robin Powell: As owned by Peter Haynes: As owned by me: As seen at Brooklands in 2007: Cheers Andrew Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robin Powell Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Hi Andrew I was actually the second owner, I bought it when it was 10 months old and did 42.000 miles in 2 years after which I sold it and bought a Landrover! Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
