Another out of the woodwork its great to see many cars coming out that have been off the road and a one owner car thats really cool looks like a really nice chance anyone saying there are no cars on offer really cant say that at the moment.

i like the colour, but surely not an S2 in 71 and with a Triumph engine??
What little is visible looks a little suspect... would be concerned about whats not shwn in the pictures...especially the chassis. Guess it would need some serious inspection, but could make a pretty nice car if the history has backup.

A simple typo i guess as she is a S3 with those side vents yes a good inspection but its all there i presume unlike some projects.

Well since it is a 2500 it must be a S3, the Triumph engine only found it's way into the Vixen shell after the S3 had been launched. It looks very smart, pretty sure I have a photo of that at a TVRCC meeting in Blackpool in the early 1990s looking quite tatty. I think I chatted to the owner who said he had owned it from new.

And that is the ONLY colour for a Vixen!

hence it requires inspection, photos can hide a multitude of sins as they say...

Yes that orange is nice as we all know they all need a lot of work even the fully restored cars are not without constant fettling and maintenace but thats what you buy into with classic cars

Interesting car! I'm struggling to find anything non original on it. Seat cushions maybe?

The seat cushions look exactly right to me, certainly seem to be identical to my Tuscan which was also delivered in late 1971.

[oliverb205]

The reason why I believe the best Vixens are orange, though I believe that my old car is now green. And proof that in around 1988 I did have hair.

Found it! The advertised 2500 at "Meet you Maker", Blackpool April 1992.
