Triumph TR3 - Looking for Dave Randles

Hello,

This is a request of help to everybody.

I am unsuccessfully trying to contact Mr. Dave Randles, from Deeside in Flintshire, UK. I know that he is well known in the UK scene of classic-cars, especially TRs, and perhaps somebody of you can help me.

Dave Randles agreed with me to bring two TR3 plus several bulky parts to Spain. He told me that he was taking the ferry to the continent on 27th April. Some days later he sent me some SMS, explaining that he had problems with the trailer across France. Then, on 5th May I lost the contact with him. I phoned to his mobile and home and nobody answers there. We had very frequent phone contacts until then. He does not answer the messages to his email address, either.

For the last two weeks, I have been worried by what might have happened to Dave. He told to me that he was coming with a friend of him called Phil, but I have no contact phone of this fellow. I am afraid Dave had some accident. He was supposed to be hauling two TR3s, across Europe.

The cars which should be registered to my name were:

-an apple-green TR3A – comm.. number 37317 –registered OFF 329
-a white TR3 - comm.. number 10061 L- registered GFO 921

Some friends and I myself paid to him 10,000 pound as part of the price for the cars and spares. I do not know him personally, but we talked by phone several times a week for three months, and he always seemed so nice and honest. I am not worried for the money, but for him.

I would appreciate if somebody could tell me something about Dave Randles. Hopefully, he is OK. However in that case, I would not understand why this lack of communication…

Thank you very much for any help.
