Not seen anyone post a link to this one. Looks like it would be a nice car to have. He's advertising it in the kit car section - won't attract too much attention in there! Wonder why he's not put it in the TVR Classics section?

beautifully done. Looks like an early Mk2 with a Mk1 bonnet?

Does anyone have any more information on the car?

Is it a very early S2?

Might go and have a look at this. I only live a few miles away. Does anyone know if someone 6 foot tall, broad shouldered and a few stone overweight fits in one of these.

Car used to be mine.
I originally purchased it in Northolt from memory.

Car was sold on to fund the racer project.
I later supplied the current owner with a brand new chassis so that he could build the car.

Car has been subject of a full and proper restoration and is very nice and considering that it has been done properly is very reasonably priced when compared to some that have changed hands recently.
It won't be around long at that price.

Good car bought for a great price.
The car is a very early pre-servo and has the correct bonnet for the model.

It was very well restored and It'l be good to see it out and about.

Don't you take your stilettos off then?

I find they catch between pedals.

I have no idea how it got into the kit car section. I now no why I had such little response. Vixen now in good hands and mixing with other TVRs in the Meriden area.
A big thanks to Neil for the opportunity and privilege to own and restore the car and thanks also for the help when I've been stuck a couple of times. Regards Rob Wells.
