The Appeal

The History and Paperwork

• Accompanying this vehicle are two sets of keys, Pioneer stereo owner’s manual, the original TVR owners manual, warrenty handbook and wiring diagrams relating to the wiring, fuel injection and electronic speedometer
• V5 present and correct

• MOT valid until November 2023
• Historic MOTs verifying the low mileage
• Original owner’s manuals
• A selection of previous invoices for service items

The Interior

• Very good original condition throughout
• Black leather with white piping lends the cabin a premium feel
• Both seats present very well with only minor creasing
• Adorned with leather and a veneer fascia, the dashboard is in good order with some gentle patina
• All of the dials gauges and switches are in very good condition and work as expected
• A small wheel makes fast-paced directional changes a breeze and the gear lever falls perfectly to hand
• The gear knob has an area where the chrome plating has come off but this is not especially noticeable
• The beige carpeting is in excellent condition throughout
• The door cards, trim and inside of the of the roof all present very well
• Boot space presents superbly and houses a spacesaver

The Exterior

• Black really accentuates those sleek lines
• All of the wheels present very well and are shod with Dunlop sports tyres
• Lightweight fibreglass bodywork presents very well with no signs of crazing or any accident damage past or present
• The paint is in really nice shape as are the ‘S3’ vinyls
• Some minor age related marks here and there, but nothing that unduly concerns us
• The roof, with its removable section, is in really nice shape
• The bumpers, chrome trim and light lenses all present very well with no damage we could discern

The Mechanics

• The combination of a lightweight body, a V6 that loves to be revved and the excellent tubular steel chassis makes for a compelling driving experience that few cars can match
• Starts easily, settling down to a smooth and steady idle
• The 2933cc V6 engine is very vocal through those twin stainless steel exhausts
• Finished in red, the tubular steel chassis appears to be in excellent original condition throughout and was waxoyled in July 2012 at 21090 miles
• The owner informs us that it drives very well; accelerating quickly, shifting smoothly and stopping in a straight line
• Lifting the clamshell bonnet, the engine bay presents well
• The car has recently had a new radiator, battery and rides on Dunlop Bluresponse 205/60R15 tyres fitted last year (Dunlop have constructed the Sport BluResponse with a polymer compound which provides you with better grip and handling on wet roads. The tyre also features 'Short Braking' blocks along the shoulder to aid in the reduction of braking distances.)
• The owner informs us that the front exhaust section has been raised up, improving clearance for uk roads
