Martin Murray Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 I'm appealing for any information from members regarding a Red 1957 RHD TR3 Registred in Stirlingshire (UK) as KMS 647 ? I managed to buy an identical model a year ago, but I've always wondered if my fathers old TR managed to survive ? Any info would be appreciated ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 DVLA have no record of it so probably hasn't survived, unless it has been exported. https://www.gov.uk/check-vehicle-tax Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 Or the registration changed. Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Martin Murray Posted November 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 Probably my only hope is that someone has it in a barn unrestored ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dic Doretti Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 I rescued a Stirlingshire TR2 (GMS 410) from a scrapyard near Dunoon, had to fight the DVLC to retain the registration number. The car is still around but the registration is on a modern car. Cheers Richard Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dic Doretti Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 A more flexible regime in the 1980s and I dealt with a person in their Glasgow office although I was surprised it was transferable. It was a tussle because I had no documentation only photos of it in the scrapyard, I guess I was lucky and persistent. I met the original owner, a Stirling school teacher who confirmed it was correct. Cheers Richard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
