Pete, my guess is CSCC would allow a 3000M with 205/60/15's (048's). It is basically a Tuscan V6 with different bonnet and tail lights!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TVR_M_Series (72-79).
Pretty sure I have come across a 3000M in SS over the last few years (black one I think).
Like I say it is a Tuscan basically. I'm sure a Tuscan could be made into a 3000M or vice vs with a bonnet and a bit of glass fiber round the back!
I'll ask
15" wheels were what was fitted to early Ms. No issue, for future classics, tyres are free.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TVR_Tuscan_(1967).

Erich,
How made your roll cage??

These guys who are located in Frome Somerset. http://www.cagedlaser.com/How made your roll cage??

Chap who decide what can or can't run in Swing Sixties is doing some research now on whether 3000M can run with SS. Will update when I hear.
Also Eric, see below from Dunlop CSCC update:-
For the first time ever the Advantage Motorsport Future Classics Series for 1970s and 1980s cars will compete apart at Donington, in their own separate races. What does that have to do with me in my 1960s car I hear you ask? Many of your models were also available in the '70s, making them eligible for the Future Classics Series and therefore the 1970s race. Last year Swinging Sixties regular Raymond Barrow entered the combined 1970s/1980s Future Classics race at Brands Hatch GP to see how his car would fair against this more modern machinery, qualifying a very creditable 6th overall and 3rd of the 1970s cars, demonstrating that the 60s cars can be just as quick as their slightly younger '70s counterparts.
If you would like to take part in this 1970s race just let us know and we will make a change this end to your registration fee (no charge) to allow you to enter online, or you can use the attached entry form. The entry fee as a second race is £360 (saving you £25) but you must decide before the closing date as you are unable to enter on the day. As an additional bonus, anyone entering this Future Classics race will also receive the garages, where scrutineers will come to you in the morning. The timetable will be arranged so that you will have a gap between races.

Interesting, thanks.Erich I would have thought your car would be very suited to the HSCC 70's roadsports series where the rules favour road legal and more standard cars running original panel work, engines and gearbox's
There are already 3 M running in this championship.
Future classics has some very fast cars in their midst due to the more open regulations.
That said when you look at some swinging 60's car which spanned the decade..The M is still in the spirit of those regs.

The guy can do as much research as he wants. The first M prototype was built with a 2500 straight 6 engine in 1971. The production proper in 1972.

Dont think I would be eligible for HSCC 70's roadsports series, although the car runs original engine and transmission and is road legal it has no interior and plexiglass all round except the windscreen, which I don't think they would allow.
I think will most likely be Future Classics or Swinging 60s, even if only running as invitation entry.

Nothing you have done to your car would exclude it from 70's roadsports!Dont think I would be eligible for HSCC 70's roadsports series, although the car runs original engine and transmission and is road legal it has no interior and plexiglass all round except the windscreen, which I don't think they would allow.

Whilst headlining etc is preferable it is not a deal breaker so I would say that the 70's roadsports is the best championship for you where your car would stand a chance of being competitive!!

Is that 70's and 80's as two classes in same race or separate races?
I race my 1989 Tuscan Challenge Rover in Future Classic's and it is usually two classes in the same race = big grids. Donnington is the first time I,m led to believe that they have split the era's although 70's can race in the 80's race as well as there 70 race at a discount as well. but not 80's in the 70's obviously. I will be racing in the 80's race along with two other regular TVR's hope we have a good grid. The club is Fantastic and the fellow racers are top drawer chaps and chapeses you would have a lot of fun either in the 60's or the future classic's series best just to talk to Dave or Hugo in the office about where your car would best fit for maximum fun Gassing Station | TVR Classics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
