Chris Smith Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Hi All, Trying to track down my father in laws old much loved TR4A which he brought around 45 years ago (he never stops talking about it!), I believe it used to be Black and now according to the DVLA it is Red. If anyone knows who the owner is now or where abouts this car is I would be extremely grateful as he is coming up to his big 75th birthday and I would love to get him any information/photos that I can. Thanks, Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cvtrian Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Hi Chris you don't say which area you live in, but if you check out the TR Register website it will give you contact details for your local group, it might be a good idea to start with them. There is also a TR4/4A registrar who may be able to contact the current owner if they are a member of the TR Register, and if the owner has notified him that he owns the car........., his details are in the club magazine, but someone at your local group may be able to help with that. Good Luck, and many happy returns to your dad when he reaches his 75th birthday Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RogerH Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Hi Chris, have a look here. https://www.tr-register.co.uk/groups Also look for a group where your dad may have lived all those years ago. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Smith Posted January 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Thanks very much, he was a Fulham lad growing up! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Hi Chris, Fulham is the London group - my patch. I don;t recognise it. You could send the current GL an email - he could then contact one and all and see what surfaces. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
