Thanks for posting the pictures Oliver, interesting to see the little changes developing.

Might be struggling for the pre-eighties meet, sorting out a tow car and trailer is taking longer than expected.

Unless any of our kind hearted fellow TVR enthusiast have a transporter going spare? smile

Cheers Bernard, a voyage of discovery awaits. I am sparked up already with this and it is advancing my M's completion rapidly.

Cheers Adrian, nice find. I'll see if I can buy it (by that I mean our Christopher will) if not I'll come begging. wink

He found this clip on youtube of it in the Anglo American challenge 1998.

Work on it is progressing slowly but surely.

And just reading your post properly, if its a Sprint article I should have copy in the loft.

Hi Neil, No not yet, have replaced the rear discs, calipers and pads.
Fitted new seals in the fronts AP calipers was going to fill and bleed but I may have to move the peddle box back yet so am hanging on.
Might lower the floor in front of the peddle box instead???
