3000Martin at Brightwells

Don't know if anyone has noticed this immaculately restored motor on Brightwells auction site mid May at Leominster, but the guide price indicates a bargain for somebody... sadly not me already have an 'M' but if not would be sorely tempted !

Guide price is £10-12000 if thats any indicator......

Stockpie here - am 6 ft tall & 33" inside leg myself but have to say that extra width of TVR 3000m does make it feel a bit roomier than my Mgb gt. My left knee does touch the base of the steering wheel when using the clutch but fine when its 'resting'. Anyway thats enough about my vital statistics.

Like all old cars & even some new ones seating arrangements are a fine art. Tell you what buy the one at Brightwells & if its too small I will buy it off you at half price........

Just looked up catalogue at Brightwells it went for £13,700 this afternoon. Not sure who... guess if dealer it will reappear soon perhaps on PH, or maybe it will turn up at a meet. Its good to know M prices are going northwards imo

A shame its leaving good old Blighty & will be a long way from Blackpool. Just been reading Brightwells terms & conditions (tsk..must get out more) buyer will have to fork out VAT & buyers premium before putting it on that ship so will cost our Swedish friend fair bit more than £13.7 k I guess.

No concerns for me at all once you change tyres the car is not as left factory & from where I sit its pretty original anyway ...more importantly as you say Frederick its immaculate and runs brilliantly. Also as a person who sees the 1970s in a much more positive light (esp re british sports cars) i think the colour scheme suits it perfectly.

Am biased as my white 3000m indeed has a brown band with blue pinstripe & matching vinyl roof - both recently refurbished .So enjoy, & congrats on your astute purchase.
