fathers cars

[peter lotus]

Hello , i've joined this forum to try and find three cars that belonged to my father in period . A 400 registered TMH 25 , a 405 registered XPH 955 , and a 406 registered 406 HAR . I have some paperwork relating to the 405 such as origional invoice , but only registration Nos for the others . He considered the 405 the best car he owned . It would be good to know if any have survived .

Hi
406HAR is owned by a BOC member and appears on the register as running order colour icebluemet.
Contact details are available on the register.

The other registrations don't appear on the register but of course the cars may still exist with other registrations, if you have chassis numbers they can lead to a current ID.

Hi Penman , thanks very much for that information , i remember the car being a quite dark metallic blue , and having two spotlamps one either side of the nearside overrider . I have photos of all the cars , and chassis number for the 405 which i will now find .

Peter Lotus ,

I have the following information about your father's 400

Chassis 400/1/380
Car 400/A/207
Original Engine 85A/1283
Original Colour Metallic Green
Despatched ex BAC/Filton 23/6/48 to AFN Ltd
Registered "TMH25" , possibly June /July 1948
First Owner , Mr Somers

Owner pre1967 C Sherwood/Worcs

T Collins/ Glous also owned it at one time .

I understand it was rolled/ badly damaged and was later parted out
and is now Extinct .

Is it possible to post a photo of the car and advise details of when your father owned the car, his name ,
colour of the car at the time and any other details.
Or

Thanks

Thank you very much for your information , this is more than i ever expected ! My Father bought the 400 in july 1950 from Fraser Nash Isleworth (S/H) when it was still green , and had it resprayed Lavender in 1953 , which i think was more Grey , he sold the car in 1955 , to make way for the 405 , which he bought in july 1955 from Anthony Crook . this was chassis No 405/4049 , car No 405/1/149 engine No 100-B2-4074 . colour Ash Grey . I am still searching for photos . many thanks .

Hi
The 405 is still around, it now carries a different reg but the details are on the register.

It is only 25 to 30 miles from HAR.

This isn't a quiz. Why don't you just give the Peter the details if you know what they are?

If Peter Lotus wants to email me directly at newsed@boc.net I'd be happy to forward any message he may have to the present owners on the BOC register.
