Spotted on shed and buried. Series 2 episode 6. Shown tonight 21.4.25.. V23BRM. Within the first 10mins very briefly. Has a current MOT. Anyone we know?
Yes... First known as V929 XBD, the second car on that series by AFRL (automated First Registration & Licencing.) In 2010 it became T600 BRM until sold by then owner in March23. Naturally it reverted back to V929 whilst current owner was restoring it. He put up plenty of 'socials' during its resto....(he is a professional restorer of more prized vehicles) December 23 it went onto the current - Spotted - plate.
Yes, the restorer is in Milton Keynes and the very brief look shown on the programme on the outside, it looked good. MOT'd til Jan 26.
I dont know the exact relationship between Mr Riddington and owner, but presume they have mutual trade. I actually dont have a price recorded, so suspect it was a POA or some similar proposition, however it would be lets say a 'strong' number in the upper echelons of what we know of BRM's sales, to reflect the declared (and social media evidenced) input owner made to the car. Accepting its 'only' 3 owners and 60k milage it was never the less torn down for what we may describe as a comprehensive respray and partial retrim (I was asked about hides if I recall correctly but the choice was to avail them elsewhere, so on that score I cannot answer in detail) additionally going to those cosmetic lengths I think it would have been inconceivable to not do a fairly comprehensive recommissioning of the powertrain and chassis componentry..I dont believe a sale ensued.
