If There Were Vacancies At TVR's New Plant?
Discussion
If the new TVR want to keep their electrical engineering department the same as it was in the past they just need a woman called Dorris and an old school pin board for the looms.
They should then wire the immobiliser back to front, fit a woefully inadequate gauge starter cable, cut corners on earth straps, and neglect to fit a dedicated starter solenoid relay.
This would keep the cars original.

Carol and Tina built my control boxes. I've not had many issues on my now 20 year old car, certainly far less than my modern japanese vehiclesThey should then wire the immobiliser back to front, fit a woefully inadequate gauge starter cable, cut corners on earth straps, and neglect to fit a dedicated starter solenoid relay.

For complete originality you should also follow what TVR did with the Tuscan and fit an open Anderson connector in the N/S wheel arch where it fills with water and muck and creates a high amp short.
You can then enjoy the originality of your TVR burning to the ground. I love TVRs but it always makes me chuckle when people defend their wiring like it's completely without fault, delusional doesn't cover it.

But, as usual, incorrect. The anderson connector is pointing downwards under the car, to the rear of the NSF wheel arch and the connector has a cap so isn't open unless it is missing. The same arrangement is fitted to all T series cars and the Sagaris.
So they rotted from the top A few were 'lost' to fires started by this. Took mine out and fitted jumper posts. Although others have filled the top with 'electrical jelly' to seal them up.mk1fan said:
