This looks like it may be the same one as hosted on BB's excellent Griffith Pages site, which is available to all for nothing, judging by the examples quoted in the listing.

Steve Parker composed the list, and from all I know never produced it on paper?
Asked the seller a qustion asking how he/she aquired such a list? Is it a hard back book or just a sheet of paper?"

It is 7 pages of Part - Part No. - What donor vehicle it is from... I basically scoured the net and put loads of different info together.

Somwone else asked

How comprehensive is this list? how many items are referenced? are part numbers included?

It seems very detailed and where applicable it does give you the part number.. bosch, lucas, girling etc.. as well as telling you what other car the part is from.. ie. wing indicators (round type) - Fiat Tipo/Cinquecento

Conflicts there in my answer he scoured the web to put the info together, In his second answer he says "It seems very detailed" that tells me he didnt make the list himself.

He/she is also selling an otherone for wedge parts and the whole range of TVR part no.s(which i think is ligit, maybe)

Excuse me wandering in from the Wedge forum, but we've seen it too! One of his items is a spitting image of RT Racings catalogue. Others are freely available and compiled by Wedge owners for the benefit of others, for free. Very very rude to say the least!!!

Paul, here's a copy of an e-mail i got this morning from SYTVRCC. Hope this helps. Baldy.

Hi folks,
please be aware that there is a person selling TVR related items on e bay that are freely available elsewhere.
eg. 350i fuel injection manual actually is free on wedge pages
part numbers for all wedges is peter beech's alternative parts list
essential reading for wedge owners is the wedge epistles from the wedge pages
tvr parts catalogue is the 2004 RT racing catalogue
Griff and Chim, alternative parts list is probable off the TVRCC welsh region site

just don't throw your money away for what can be obtained freely.

Seems he has pulled it after many emails sent from myself and the wedge boys to him and the buyers who where shown that they could have got what he was selling for free via the Wedge pages, Griffth pages and some TVRCC sites too
