What happened to the Project Gotham Racing TVR?

[@thomascharnock]

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.

[@RJAY63]

Hi Tom! I saw some old forum threads from about 20-22 years ago that stated the car ended up in Hampshire somewhere. A TVR with the same registration was also in the 'Swordfish' film (different colour though). PS Did you know the NTSC-J version of Project Gotham Racing was called Project Gotham: World Street Racer?

This is the sort of hyper obscure Dreamcast related content i live for. You're doing gods work Tom, keep it up!

[@thomascharnock]

Haha thanks man - this comment confirms I am not simply wasting my life/time on this nonsense 😂

[@ThePrimo80s]

Interesting video Tom.

[@thomascharnock]

Cheers mate

[@segadriven]

My guess is it was probably only ever used as a showroom car

[@thomascharnock]

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 😂

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?

[@thomascharnock]

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.

Hi Tom. Will the Power Drifting podcast ever return?

[@thomascharnock]

@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!

[@steppinonastoop677]

could be stuck in someones garage somewhere just collecting dust

[@thomascharnock]

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
