My intention when restoring no 1 was to put it back to the original condition as it left the factory, so I have the original Rover cast manifolds.

I had with the car a poor quality mild steel tublar manifolds which did fit, but were binned!

So sorry I can't Help!

JP can do one but you would have to leave your car in Macc.for them to fit it,they have a jig for the later ones and also supply TVR specialists. http://www.jpexhausts.co.uk/page.asp?id=8

Keep up the good work Jeff

I had my 400's S/S exhaust made by Exhausts UK in Meadowhall Sheffield
then Colin (Taffo)had his 350i exhaust and S/s Manifolds done by them.
I am really happy with the sound of my exhaust and also think
Taffos exhaust and manifolds give a great sound as well.

They are all hand built to your car so you would have to leave it there

Mine was reasonable at £400 but Colins a lot more expensive
as studs did break as they came off and took several days

Cast manifolds??

What's wrong with the TVR mild steel tubular ones? Around £170 a side, and if you paint them regularly they last for years.

[dixiebabes]

They dont fit on the early models apparently they have to be made to fit at a whacking cost. Thats what the gut at JPT exhaust said like!
