The first registered keeper of K283 BOH was Phillip Collier who worked as an engineer for TVR. It has been entered in many TVR shows and I myself have used it on charity runs. Overall the car is in excellent condition throughout – the veneer on the dashboard will need replacing eventually because there are some cracks marks beginning to show and the estimate to do this is around £240 by a TVR specialist. I have recently fitted 4 x new tyres, it will be sold with 12 months MOT. Buyers are welcome to inspect the car.
I also have many photos of this car whilst being built.
