TVR dilivered as a kitt-car...

OFR 3G - Does anyone know anymore about this orange Tuscan? I am 99% sure this car used to belong to a guy I used to work with in Hollingborn, near Maidstone Kent. If it is the same car it's totally responsible for me being a TVR nut ever since he took me for a spin in it - must have been about mid 1980s. Does anyone on hear own it now?

Rene,

This photo is interesting it looks like a Mk3 but the caption says it has a Coventry Climax engine. I understand these engines were listed for the early Mk3's but have yet to come across one. It could however be a late Mk2 with the Mk3 style bonnet.

Do you know the source of the photo.

Hi Rob, I don't know, I saw that I downloaded it in 2012 and it said, TVR 1962 London.
Could be a early mk3 (with the mk2 rear?) and maybe one of the first for the show?
sadly no plate.

come to think of it, maybe its this car too? just other wheels? maybe they used a mk2a with climax engine for their first mk3?
