Beautiful "body off" restoration completed at the close of the last century (1999) by David Cunnew in South Australia.
Commission No.: TS45085 O
Engine Number: TS 45909 E
EB Number 45434 : Mulliners No. 1050674

The car was briefly owned (in S.A.) by John Williams and then Ian Burman- from whom I purchased it in March 2006.
It has enjoyed success in beauty contests, where my contribution since owning it, has only been the polishing cloth!

OWNER/DRIVER HISTORY
"My enthusiasm for 'wind in the hair' motoring
started in 1967 with an Austin Healey BN1
I bought my first TR in 1979. It is now owned by
Michael Carr
I joined the register in 1979
My 'Lifetime's 15 minutes of Fame' came at the Formula One GP of 1999 when I drove Eddie Irvine , the eventual winner for Ferrari, in the pre-race Driver's Parade. Since then, Eddie and I have not caught the public's attention!"

Chris's previous car was a 1958 Model (shown below) - Commission No. TS 37635
This car has been sold to Mychael Carr
