⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

A desirable low number produced hand-built British classic.

With just ~258 units produced between 1978 and 1979, it’s safe to say the TVR 3000 S is not only the first true production convertible to come from Blackpool-based TVR but also one of the most early desirable models to own.

Based on the final evolution of the M-Series, the 3000 S convertible replaced the 3000 M coupe and features a lightweight fibreglass body mounted to a tubular backbone chassis with a front-engined Ford Essex 3.0-litre V6 powerhouse which produces approximately ~140bhp and around 170lb-ft of torque, driven through a four-speed manual gearbox straight to the rear wheels.

Coming to market from just under ~5.5 years with our vendor, the 3000 S features a lightweight construction with a V6 engine, laid-back, charming British character that is massively appealing to any classic car enthusiast.
