Description
I bought this TVR two years ago with 11 former owners, registered 1978 as body type Sports Tax class Historic 2994cc petrol. The previous owner had carried out alot of restoration work most importantly body off chassis restorarion, running gear inc all round adjustable coil overs, modern cooling system, new fuel tank, pump, carb and E10 compatible fuel lines. (i run on E5) Since owning the car i have had the Timing gear and valves replaced followed by re tuning. new bumpers all round and the sun roof fully restored. Ive had some paint work carried out that includes the stripe, lower areas all round and the bonnet. The interior to the best of my knowledge is original and in my opinion in good enough condition to live with. Its not a trailer queen its definitely a day out drive car good enough for the classic car shows. There is a large file of work carried out inc photos of the initial restoration. I will MOT test the car shortly for peace of mind.
MOT tested today 31/ 03/ 2026Classic styling and history of TVR stands out for me a true sports car of its time. Its V6 engine has a marvellous note especially when just cruising and the handling really surprised me given its from 1978. the engine is set to the rear of the front axel giving excellent ballance.
