The clue is in the VIN number but sadly I don't think you'll get much help from either the club or the factory. Have you checked the bible?

Contact West Lancashire TVR. One of their guys runs the tvr archive. If anyone can help he can.

It was quite a pleasure to troll thru old posts & chuckle at the sadly missed jigs........

You can be quite sure the oldest will have to have LT77 box, GKN Diff + door opener in cover for gear lever, and of course locks in door buttons. So it rules out 98% of owners.....
