That's what I thought.. Lot of car for the money.. Then read it has been written off at some point hence the price..

I have seen it close up and it’s a lovely car. Brendan (concept cars) did the repairs and modifications including the blended front lights and a targa roof section (more akin to a normal sunroof but is designed to be removed).
If you want something a bit different to standard then it’s worth looking at.

I read the Cat D part too.. but sounds a huge reduction in price compared to other Cat D cars. I'm not sure that means much on these cars anyway?

I recall the car needing some engine work shortly after he bought it. As I recall it there was a debate with the garage re what caused it but I think Raceproved ended up fixing it (head welding, new piston, new valves etc). That was probably 7 years ago though!

9 years ago I saw this car at Chatsworth and it looked great, when I had the Tam re-sprayed 4 years ago, I chose this colour, stunning!

Seems to have gone from the classifieds.

I’m quietly relieved, I have no need for another TVR at the moment but after seeing the advert yesterday I can’t say I wasn’t tempted...

Yes, I've removed it for the moment as thought I'd be better off getting the major service done and doing some little bits of work. Was rushing to sell as moving out of my flat after getting married and no space for it at the Mrs. Going to rent a garage near by to keep it instead. Probably sell in the spring so keep your eyes peeled wink

There was one that after some fallout with a garage it had to be fixed in someone's kitchen...or am I getting confused....wouldn't fill me with confidence...I don't think it was this car though as it was supposed to be a red rose ...
