A few of the last ones, sure they were sagaris, were left in the factory 95% complete when it originally closed. When all the messing about was over a tvr specialist purchased these cars and finished them off, they were then sold as new cars, the car u seen must have been one of them. Iv just read a book I had my dad about tvr's, he has 2 tvr's, and was shocked to read about these late registered cars, as I too thought it all ended with that Russian playboy.
now that seems likely... have any of you lot seen those N reg maestro's.?
they went to Bulgaria in boxes for a project to start production there & the man in charge died in a car crash. they came back & a garage bought them all dirt cheap
Ledbury Maestro's. Some are registered as 51 plates.
As for the imports being allocated a reg the same as their date of manufacture, this doesn't always happen and some wrongly end up with a plate from the year they were imported.
Such as a 1993 year car that was imported in 1999, winding up with a T prefix.
This.
A friend of mine owns a bodyshop and his apprentice had an S registered Legacy estate that was built in 1991.
Exactly, seen a 54 plate mk2 MR2. Epic balls up by DVLA.

cheaper tax too.
I never knew they did that I always thought it was done as per year of manufacture. Guess I was wrong haha
It usually is, never seems to happen to me otherwise I'd have an 07 plate MR2 Roadster rather then W reg.
Same,i knew a guy that had a 1995 estima import that ended up on a 02 plate.
