Could be, I'm not sure, I do not know the car, so I better should call it a Taimar with SE arches...anyhow, love such SE style.

but...so it seems it also was possible to get on standard cars, see>>

>>>among all the Turbo cars, four were built with the "Special Equipment" (SE) specification, which included a leather interior, flared wheel arches, large Compomotive split-rim alloy wheels, and a limited-slip differential. Of these four cars, three were Taimar Turbo SEs and one was a 3000S Turbo SE. The single 3000S Turbo SE was used by Martin Lilley as his personal transport until he sold it. The SE specification was also available for the normally aspirated cars, although estimates vary on the number built. Some cars that were originally built with the standard specifically were repaired with SE-style wheel arch flares by customer request.<<<

My Taimar, back at my place, the day I bought it (1990) - previous owner had fitted 185/70's to the front and 205/70s to the rear, hence the stance!

I was recently telling a friend about a TVR that i had worked on in the seventies that at the time had a v8 cobra engine?
when i put the reg into google up came the car.
i believe the car was bought at the time around 77-78 by a customer of ours from the London area and brought back to Wakefield, i was working at the time has an apprentice at J.E. Fowler Auto electrics in Agbrigg Wakefield and we rewired the car using a new wiring harness from TVR .
We had to cut a hole in the transmission tunnel to get to the starter motor.
The car was then taken to BD Wrays in Thornes wakefield to have the steering modified.
it would be nice to know were the car is now.
