Early TVR Pictures
Discussion
Received this high resolution picture today from Classic car tours a reminder to myself and others what our cars are really for.
We can polish them fettle them improve them but most of all we need to drive them and as they are TVRs drive them hard.
This picture was at the end of a Mad Dash of about 80 miles that morning to get one of our party to the train station so he could get back to England as his Mother in Law was taken seriously ill.
I was driving to get back to start the beginning of the Friday Navigation Rally well the drive was fun who needs track days.

Cool photo's Axel. How do you like the Vixen after the Turbo?

Ok the acceleration is not so brutal, but the 2500 is a fine smooth engine with much torque...Moto
No overheating either and brilliant for touring ;-)
Like the look a little more than the streched M ....
The strait six sound is nice also .
Best regards
Axel
Thanks for the kind comments.
I'm not sure on the actual colour but would guess Regal Red would be very close. More pics as I recieved the car.....
I've actually done some updates on the interior already - mainly around the instruments & switchgear to make it more usable. I'm presently collecting the bits to redo the centre console & main dash pad in the style of the V8 SE with the veneer & sloping mid section but this will be early next year as I have to finalise the EFI install with the new upgraded top hatted V8 as it's presently on a 390 Holley. I've also had to redo the gearchange mechanism & gearlever to position it correctly.
Showing the rearranged centre stack with a hideaway touchscreen & rationalised fully functional instruments (!). The trim colour is a subject of debate, I don't mind it but appreciate that it's not everyone's cup of tea! Grey or claret would be a preference....we will see!
