Anyone know much about the car or how much they are asking ?

It was at the pre-80's meet at newark and looked great but You'll have to ask Mr AC Roney how much he wants for it as You will soon find out everyone has different Ideas about what the Turbo's are worth and what they cost to buy off the owners. See my previous post about "who wants a taimer turbo" to see the discussion they prevoke.

Peter Wheeler lived a couple of miles away from me at the time of owning this car. Although I can't remember it myself (being only 2 yrs old at the time) my mother and late father were friends with Peter and Maggie Wheeler, and my dad used to drink with Peter in the local pub, discussing their mutual interest in cars, and of the Rover V8 engine...

Built with a TR6 differential the car was one of first M's converted at the factory to Jaguar LSD, along with the electric windows being removed to enable the driver to rest his arm on the trim rather that a 6mm piece of glass, again, the first car to do that, as later M's had the same modified cross piece. Today, THE TVR turbo that the car should have been when it was new! Perhaps I would say that though.

Did Peter own 2 Turbo's ?
Where does the white car, that was at the factory at the last backhome, fit in. It's a later chassis number 49** than the one advertised and was quoted as the car he owned when he bought the factory. I tried to buy it off Peter but we didn't agree on price. I believe it remains in Wheeler family ownership.

Correct, my understanding is that it is still in the family.
Not listed in the Robson book, and having had a new chassis at DG, white with a maroon interior when I re-commisioned it for the factory.

I believe it was left in Peter's will to his nephew.
