Info on 1959 TR3A - AAX89A formerly 493KPA, TS43043

[PXC]

Hello All,

can anyone shed any light on the provenance and history of this car between 1959 and about 1990 please. 

What is known:

Build date 23/1/1959, started life as Silverstone Grey/Red Vynide, delivered to L.F.Dove Ltd. In Wimbledon. 
First registered 31/12/59 thought to be 493KPA (although this date may be a catch all used by DVSA (sic) database - ie they don’t know exactly but use the last day of the build year). 

subsequently reregistered in 1984 (reason unknown) as AAX89A.  This is what DVLA think the first registered date is. 

Nowadays Sebring White/blue trim. 

mentioned in Tr Register records connected to members Hodgson and Davis round about 1988/89. (Interested to hear from these members if still in the TR Register).

owned by Northern Tr Centre next, then by Bob Foskett c1990, who died c1998/9. 

then laid up until 2022 - and I know the history from 2022 onwards.

thanks

Paul
