Just a small update - this particular TVR W995 AFR appears to have also been used in promo shots for magazines of the era. But it's ultimate fate is still a bit of a mystery.
Yeah, it was definitley a press car as it was used in some other promo shoots. And my best guess is that it was shipped overseas not long after. Edit to say: thanks for your comment mate, and great work with your channel. And never forget the bus stop baguette. May it rest in pieces 😂
Yes that's pretty much what happens. You can buy private plates but as far as i know it's only like a 'redirect' on a website. So people sometimes keep a private plate and just move it to a new vehicle when they sell a car and it reverts back to the original reg number. I guess the logical explanation is that this TVR was registered in the UK and probably eventually shipped overseas before it was due a first MOT.
@TPL-Motorsport hey, thanks for your comment. I would love for it to return but my wingman Mike has retired somewhat from content creation. If I could find a substitute co-host with the same passion for gaming and rally, then sure it could return like a phoenix!

This is the sort of hyper obscure Dreamcast related content i live for. You're doing gods work Tom, keep it up!
Haha thanks man - this comment confirms I am not simply wasting my life/time on this nonsense 😂
Interesting video Tom.
Cheers mate
My guess is it was probably only ever used as a showroom car

In the UK does a number plate get issued when a car is first sold and stay with the car through all owners the whole life of the car?

Hi Tom. Will the Power Drifting podcast ever return?

could be stuck in someones garage somewhere just collecting dust
Absolutely. Or maybe sent overseas or even in a museum/display or something. Would love to know where it is though!
@@thomascharnock sounds like good odds it isnt in the UK anymore
