Advice Wanted on Early Cars

[Adrian@]

Andrew was taking the p*** ...it is everything and, and, and, much more than the red shed he owns, apart from a 80 year old lady driver having nudged the bonnet and it now requires painting, It just 'happened' to fail to get me back from the MOT..which it passed! (my 2nd breakdown in 76 TVR's I have owned).

As the bonnet needs painting, it could now be any colour as it is 50% of the car!

you might want to call Adrian, after all he is the guru and specialist..........

I did go and have a look at that last week was not that impressed 15k maybe but 25k not a chance was rather scruffy and needs a few jobs doing to even tidy it up and get everything working properly and the paint is far from what i would expect for that money.
I have spoke to a number of dealers but there all say that good restored cars dont come up often

Adrian is right his car is a rather nice example just not used enough but a fantastic car and pampered like a Baby depending on what price he is wanting for it re painted to your taste then you could be onto a good car there but it is a Turbo
By The way Adrian yours are Sheds Mine are Large Lunch Boxes

Yup, you need to see them in the flesh, and no, they don't come up for sale often......

Cheek...LOL.. not used enough, I'll have you know that I've been out in it today, I am trying really hard to bed the new brake pads in and settle the springs after the 4 corner rebuild/service I did to it SINCE it's MOT....it's done all of 11 miles since the MOT! and that my friend is a LOT of miles for this car, 1/2 of what it did LAST YEAR in ONE day!!

I have a 3000S project available to the right person. Not in a position right now to give full details but has had some TVR specialist work carried out.
