Hi everybody, ive just got back into TVR motoring after 10 years.
Ive just purchased a white 350 drop head Previously registered IIB 4694, it had sustained light front damage, im currently repairing it.
The car was in stuning condition pre accident- the interior looks like brand new, a real credit to its previous owner.
If anyone has any info on this car- it would be muck appreciated, thanks all

Hello,

Oh good! I'm glad you bought that car! It used to be owned by a chap who was either a pilot or had aviation interests, and was often featured in books and a few issues of the TVR Car Club Sprint magazine. Its in the John Tipler books, most recent being the "TVR - An Illustrated History" available from Amazon etc. Just a single page, with a B&W rear 3/4 shot and some wording. Perhaps its in some others though.

There was also a thread about it quite recently with a picture showing it besides some plane. www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=360192&f=12&h=0

I can't remember which TVR Sprint magazines it was in, but the club will have the details I'm sure. I know it was a cherished car so I was really sad to see it all damaged. I hope you restore it to its former glory! Keep us updated with some pictures and stuff.

Dan.

Can anybody tell me what the radiator is from,or where i may be able to buy one, thanks

General opinion is that it is good to have the radiator recored. The radiator itself is not a TVR special, but the coolant connections are.
