Sure looks like it :-) lovely, could be just translated in Dutch? the Book I have is from 1984 and 1989 copyright and has 10 pages with TVR (4 from the Tuscan as posted)

I just bought the magazine on fleebay, thanks for the tip, its welcome for my small collection/readings

A chainsaw, for the skirts, new wheels, and a new set of springs would help.

indeed, and the new wheels better/fuller in the wheel-arches to start with.
ofcourse there are also a lot good parts on the car, more of that tomorrow.

Oh dear, not too keen on that.

Or the wheels or the skirts.

[GTRene]

or the pedal covers etc, I bet they got a lot of work/time/money done in that car.
But a lot can be undone, to give it a bit more 'classic' look most can be unscrewed to replace with more classic look items, I bet it will be a lot better.
The chassis looks strong and the engine stuff also, they also made a 'nice' thing for the open air inlets, when the hood is closed it has a sort of air chamber around the inlets, I bet its open at the front (under the hood)

also the heater system looks like it works perhaps better then the old style? they put a lot of effort? in the car.

more detail pictures of the chassis/underside etc, later today.

That is pretty smart set up for both inner wheel wells and air filter

My photo shop skills are about as subtle as a chainsaw... but reducing the skirt seems better to me,



and there is quite a lot to like in what's been done to parts of this car imho (eg the cage seems really unobtrusive compared to many I've seen, and the inner wings have had some thought put into them)

Some great stuff, but the cage needs a diagonal, behind the seats. Skirts need to be gone. Wheels and tyres need to be corrected, as does ride height

Wow that's nice. Might need to back to wires on mine aswell.

[GTRene]

those wire wheels do look nice/classic, but I think needs more maintenance?
also you need a inner tire I guess?

I like the classic look of them, but to be honest, for driving I would choose alloy wheels...
Think they are a bit stronger too, more rigid also and easier with wider tires and any tire shop can handle those.

The alloy wheels on your TVR are not the best looking perhaps, maybe you can try a different type?
or give the hart another color so they come out different?

or with wheels like those, also classic>>
