Ah, that looks like the Douglas Valley car? Good to see that it will live again! I can't help with the bonnet.

The S2 & S3 wishbones & uprights are the same. The V8S wishbones are longer.

The upright is the same Sierra-based one used for all S Series and Griffith/Chimaera models. The upright is the standard non-Cosworth 2WD fitting, except that the taper for the bottom balljoint is enlarged to accept the different balljoint used by TVR.

Is this any good, it`s off an S1 according to the advert.

Good man, save that S!
The advertised bonnet is off an S1 whereas yours is a later car. If I remember rightly there are some slight differences between the bonnets but I am pretty certain they can be interchanged without problems. (My S1 has a much later V8S bonnet with no problems so the reverse should be OK). I think he is asking a bit to much for that S1 bonnet as it will need refinishing but it has to be worth a cash offer?

You can get new bonnets you know. But they’re not cheap.

They do, but take a deep breath before you ask them the price.

I would expect no more than £100 for that bonnet......no bids so just wait
