Thanks

[olliete]

Judging by the name of the seller it may have been a forced turnaround!

[Rib]

Very odd!

[mk1fan]

not if you read the whole thread. looks like the sale fell through.

[RAFsmoggy]

I see, was a total heap or is Ok but the seller's put the buyer off ... I'm itching top have a Ls powered TVR!

A few people have mentioned the builder, was there a problem here?

It looks good but now at a lower price is tempting but has me a bit puzzled etc.

[mk1fan]

Don1 is the person who can answer the build questions. If you are serious then he may impart things via pm.

There is certainly the underpinnings of a great car there. When I saw it at Don's there was a list of things to do. If they have been done then its a great car.

[Hunter T]

Just for the record..i put a deposit down and after a bit of investigation i decided not to go ahead with the purchase. For the car to be in the condition i wanted it would of required circa 8-10k spent on it. A few things had not been disclosed either willingly or non willingly..i chose to believe the current seller did not know of the issues involved and was acting in good faith. I would of loved a tam but ended up with a Tuscan S which i am happy with.

[philipbrown123]

Hunter T - How about some pics of the tuscan S.

[m4tti]

The legend of Steve Heath lives on... I bought one of his suspension bolt kits once. It came with bolts very dissimilar to the originals. He claimed the bolts were no longer available in the original sizes

Needless to say I did find bolts of exactly the same size as the originals .

Strangely no longer in business.
