Oi jammy its obvious that you havent been around TVR,s long enough, to realise that the head lights on the car are the famed speed 12 conversion.Purely a matter of taste,but in my oppinion it totally improves the look of the car.It takes the old M.G factor away from the looks of the car.

They would look like a Fiat, they are from one, Bravo or Brava..cant remember which.

A little harsh with your comments guys, this could be someone pride & joy your slagging off here. Probably cost a few quid too...be nice, lifes too short.

Certainly different, Not what I would go for personally but each to there own, I probably have things on my car that others would not, but if the person who has it likes it then let it be!!!!!!

front end looks excellent, back end looks....... different, not sure about Fiat lights, might look good in the flesh, no rub strip either by the look of the photos. However, my main concern is its bl@@dy green, could have at least gone for a chameleon? paint job. Green is for grass and leaves and peas and stuff organic, not a ruddy ripsnorting TVR. If anyone buys this make sure you get a couple of grand off and get a decent LOUD respray.
Sorry if I've offended anyone with a green car, but its your own fault, if you wanted to blend in with the other blandmobiles you should have got yourself a Metro.
Goodnight Al.

Just taking a closer look at those pictures and yet again I am amazed by the inconsistend TVR updating. What I mean is that there is no centre bar on the front grill (sign of an early model) and also no rubbing strip on the back bumper (supposed to be a later model)....

Oh well, think I will give in guessing TVR model years now - they are just so 'hit and miss' that its getting to be a bit of a joke. Still, not to my taste, but I am sure that it floats someones boat...

Cheers,

The rubbing strip is still there on later models, but it's body coloured not just black rubber.

Nothing wrong with green in particular, horses for courses and all that, but the guy's obviously had some serious mods done so taking the car away from original and negating? the easy to sell colour. With light mods front and back must of had full respray or near enough so why not change colour and if it has to be green why not Chameleon to show off all the work thats been done to it. Anyway I'm jealous, must be nice to be able to park in a NT carpark and blend in with all the flora and forna.
Cheers Al.
