Anyone fancy clubbing together to buy this or are there plans afoot to make sure that this bit of TVR history survives?

1100 Kilos and 400 bhp approx, so should be similar in performance to a Sagaris.
However, I saw one, (may have been this car) at Elvington in 2005 and it was (a) incredibly fast compared to any of the other TVRs on track (b) unbelievably loud!

In fact it was so loud, I think that the locals complained about the noise.

Tony,
It is quoted as 400 bhp with air restrictor so maybe a touch more without. Certainly sounded fit at Elvington I agree.

I'm not far away either but I got the impression that you need to book just to look in the window.

Does this showroom actually exist then or is that address just a business address?

Would it still be eligible to race in the GT leagues now? It'd be nice to think a team would buy it, do it up, and put it out on the track. Unlikely, but it'd be nice.

Man that dealer has some nice stuff lurking in its portfolio, that buisness looks like more of a hobby than a wage earner, nice.

That's what I am trying to work out. The website here: http://www.albionmills.co.uk/index.shtml does imply that there is a lot of storage on site. But I wouldn't have thought that this is showroom style storage, so I wouldn't be surprised if we're not in luck and it is just an office address.
