This vehicle was owned in 1959/60 by John Moore of Shelsley Beauchamp, worcestershire, where I was working as a farm student. JM was a fruit, hops and livestock farmer and well-known in the motorsports scene living in the Teme valley opposite the Shelsley Walsh hillclimb. Whilst in Australia in 1966 I was amazed to find a sheet-music songbook by a popgroup of that time ( The Seekers? New Seekers?) who were draping themselves all over this vehicle with guitars with other photos inside the book. I have been looking out for TUY 917 ever since and would be fascinated to hear of it's career since 1960

I owned this car for about four years from 1961 to 1965 and traded it in for an XK150 S 3.8 litres at HR Owen & Co, Melton Court, Kensington, London. I have never heard of the car since, maybe it has gone abroad or is just waiting in a barn somewhere. I did a few sprints and speed trials and some long distance European touring taking in a few circuits of Nurburgring and Spa.
