Dear Club Members,
It is some time since my last newsletter and much has happened since.
Unfortunately, the Steadman TS100 website that I set up several years ago disappeared and ceased to exist. Despite enquiries we
were informed that all details were lost and there was no way that they could be retrieved.
However, in 2025 Colin Pander from New Zealand contacted me having just purchased a BRG TS100, JMT 665M from Japan. I
was already aware of that car and Colin was involved with the authorities in New Zealand to convince them that the car was
correctly built by The Steadman Car Company in order that they would permit it to be used on the road. During this period, I
explained my predicament to Colin and he was able to trace all the club records which he found had been archived. So a very big
thank you to Colin, our clubs saviour! We can now return to supporting Steadman TS100 owners and maintaining details of all
the known cars and their respective histories.
Over the last two to three years there have been a number of changes and other matters that I will try to add to this document:-
1. In August 2025 Ronnie Leach sold his red TS100, VRL 664H, but its current location is not known. Ronnie still owns his
other TS100 registration number 9903 KP.
2. In October 2022 black TS100, XLX 121, was sold to John Farrelly from West Chinnock.
3. February 2023 BRG TS100, UP 9213 was for sale in East Yorkshire. Current location not known.
4. In 2025 red TS100, JAG 100N sold, current owner unknown.
5. Grey/silver TS100, XXG 305J, owned since late 1990’s and being rebuilt by Neil Seed from Preston.
6. Red TS100, VFJ 304S, owned and being built by Mike Holloway, registered as a Steadman.
7. White TS100, BMA 144S, sold to Chris Symons in May2026.
8. BRG TS100, RMJ 665M, imported to New Zealand from Japan in 2025.
9. Red TS100, CAW 483L, under renovation by Chris Symons.
10. Red TS100 STM 995 sold to Stephen May in 2022 and shipped to Australia.
In the not too distant future, I am hoping to add some pictures of Chris Symons project building his TS100i. In the
meantime, keep looking after your cars. I will forward this to Colin as he has agreed to add it to the website
‘ts100steadman.com’.
Very best regards.
