So pink it is then!
( Max's favourite colour )
Good idea Glen, I see next year's EuroTour shirt colour scheme emerging ( Max's favourite colour )
But where are this year's orange ones? I need mine for winter to co-ordinate with my balaclava.
NEC Classic Show?

Lets get this years sorted first
Finally signed off the sample / example this week (at 3rd time of asking) as I wasn't happy with the first attempts. I want them to be perfect. I'm away next week so hopefully will be with me w/c 24/10.Collection for those heading to Coventry in November. Will be in touch with options for delivery in due course if not going to Coventry.

Scroll down - leather probably russet or mulberry - TVR used a lot of Jag colours in identical shades and names.
Speak to a Jag specialist they may be able to help with carpet colours etc. if you want to keep it original.
HI Chris , do you mean on the Segal Trimming website ? Could you copy the link, couldn't find mulberry/russetSpeak to a Jag specialist they may be able to help with carpet colours etc. if you want to keep it original.
Time for an update Over the last 2 years some work was done, mainly interior. The plan however, still, is to do a body off for which the engine needs to come out. A BIG job for me with restricted mechanical skills. The work done so far : carpets, seats and console out, after a quick wash and "some" leather grease they almost look like new again.
Next job was to remove all bolts which hold the body in place, all done except 1 snapped ;( Remains of exhaust removed. Bonnet off, cooling out. Next major job was to remove the 2x8 completely solidly rusted bolts on the Y-piece flanges Prop-shaft out, engine mounts loosened, engine harness connectors disconnected, fuel and coolant hoses off.
Then for the big lift ! All is very tight but after some wiggling it came out.. happy days. Engine will be checked because it didn't run for some years. A (TVR S3) friend, Mark might have some storage so the rebuild can continue during winter-time.
Next step : Body off To be continued...

I know you've done it already, but why so? Rounded off exhaust manifold bolt or something?
1. Engine needs a good inspection, I expect nothing major on cylinders or camshafts but the engine did not run for some years, coolant that came out looked too "brownish". Don't know how good/bad the injectors are.2. Manifold bolts not rounded but look very rusted and especially the rear ones are hard to reach with engine in.
Altogether this looked the easiest way out
