Is my late fathers TR3 still out there ?

[Martin Murray]

 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 !

DVLA have no record of it so probably hasn't survived, unless it has been exported.

Or the registration changed.

Probably my only hope is that someone has it in a barn unrestored ?

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.

Hi Richard,

Unusual to be able to transfer an original registration mark, especially after a tussle with the DVLC ?

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
