As it says in the title there's a 2.8 y reg tvr tasmin for sale on the bay for £1k needs extensive renovation.
Located in London
This is a cheap wedge even for spares !!

I don't think it's cheap to buy and rebuid. It hasn't run for years and just about everything would need replacing. It would cost too much. It would only be good as labour of love for someone who wants to save it and use. It may be good for spares but again I don't think there is that much on there of value that's salvageable apart from the engine and wheels.

Looks like it's gone. Anyone on here? Just curious to know if it's make or break.

Could just be a shagged trailing arm mount or bent pin..Mine used to sit horrendously squatted on the O/S rear...The negative camber was worrying even though it looked cool...

Sold for £1569 in the end, if the chassis is in good condition like the ad says then a grand or two could see this as a nice car.
