RU sure? I was under the impression it was only the door hinge line that changed.If a V8 bonnet will fit my S2, then an S1/2 should fit an S3.Don't think the chassis is different either.

Bible says S bonnet based on S2,so if V8 fitted yours it could be a winner

[mickypee]

Don't believe everything the bibles says!!

See what your getting at Pies but the difference is below the bonnet - on the wing and door isn't it?

That doesn't make sense: how can a car that came out in 1987? be based on a car that came out in 1989? ?

Bible says S3 bonnet based on S2

Right, that sounds better.

..ultimately depends how bent your S3 is

Great pictures and very clear, but they show how the length of the *door( varies from S1/S2 to S3, not the bonnet. The bonnet appear to be identical in all the pix.

Pies, they are the same on all models.Do you really think TVR would modify the whole shell, chassis and bonnet just to move the door hinge line a small amount.NO

Yep, just did. No wiser though. Sorry. I still reckon the bonnets are the same - maybe go to a TVRCC meeting with a tape measure?
