All of my life I can remember my granddads pride and joy. My granddad ran tvr power in Coventry, years back his beloved range rover underwent a transformation. It was given a tvr engine and uprated in many ways. This became the first ever Lichfield conversion. JE engineering then got involved. I remember holidays at billing aqua drone, caravans, the beat of that thundering 5.0 tvr engine and my granddad at the wheel. My granddad sadly passed away and the car was sold to a gentleman who I didn't know. I posted on Facebook as I was getting married and wanted nothing more than the car there in place of my nan and granddad as my nan also passed away. After a few days and thousands of shares on my search and an incredible amount of support and good wishes I was in luck. The owner contacted me and after a chat he agreed to let me borrow the car to use at my wedding. It was wonderful. I even insured it and drove it myself with his permission. I couldn't of asked for more. It was a dream come true for me and my family. On the way down to collect it I felt like granddad was there and approved on what I was doing, a van cut me up and the registration had NCK on it, my granddad ran a shop in Coventry called NCK so this really made it feel like he was with me, I cleared a seat for him and continued on my way. After a long drive there and back, We had her back, just for a few days. Then came the time to say goodbye. I returned her and have not seen her since. I kept in contact with this wonderful gentleman and he has recently informed me that the range rover will need to be sold as he is moving and wont have the space. He has offered me to buy it but I am not in the position at the moment. If I cant buy it we will never see it again. I have tried every route I can think of and somebody mentioned to try this wonderful website. So here I am, welling up asking for help. We lost it before please help me not lose it again. If its just £1 it means so very much, it breaks my heart to think it will be gone forever. The memories of my nan and granddad and how much it means to us is unreal. I am doing everything I possibly can. I have sold my car and I am selling anything else I can live without to try and make this dream come true. I know its not the normal. I know its not a desperate cause and some of you may think I am stupid for doing this but we cannot lose that car. Please if you can spare just £1 we would appreciate it so so much.
