You will be lucky, apparently they only made 1. It had a massive design fault, there was no roof to attach the tailgate to and during initial roadtest it fell off. When Martin got back after roadtest someone said "where is the tailgate Martin"? This is where the name Taimar came from! TVR tried to conceal this design fault but it leaked into the US press who were expecting to roadtest the car for Road and Track. Despite all their efforts it became an Open Secret.

Hardly think a reprint of an article from dec 1978 Road and Track constitutes new information. Well publicised in Brooklands Books TVR 1960 to 1980 and numerous reprints/revisions. I, m sure I must have a spare copy of the original in my archive somewhere. About as credible as WMD and Hilary Clinton, role on WW3.

Sorry Rudy
Not sure about the UK.
Although there is another one just like yours for sale on Cars and Classics? unless the seller is using his Stock as Collateral with the Bank????
Guess we will never know on both counts!:rolleyes
Since you joined these forums your postings have been at best " lightweight" but surely with this contribution you must have bottomed out!
I at least try to draw on my experience and knowledge to add either information or humour with my postings.
Your implications of fraudulent practises perhaps says more about you than it does about me. I was brought up in the " if you can't afford it you can't have it " times. Therefore if I own it, I own it. Perhaps that's why I only drive a 50 years old TVR , it's all I can afford. Luckily I have 2 spare ones and a genuine 3000S (not a converted hatchback) if I could ever afford to finish it's restoration or maybe I,ll just scrap it.
Rudy,s thread shows he is happy to LISTEN and LEARN and I,m sure that if you restore a 35 year old car of any marque it should be better than when you started and I know it will be excellent.
I am not sure I can add any more value to this forum and I am convinced your contributions can only improve. BYE
Mind you yours will look far better than that one very soon.
