Looks like it's got a nice fast engine installed yet with those looks it needs 700 Bhp to justify itself,,, and handle.
It looks like a good job and plenty of money has been put into the car but the wheel spats need to be more individual and blended more. IMHO.
I like it though but couldn't own it. It's hard to beat perfection and the the Chim captures many things in its great lines.

I've seen this advertised at £20k, with a load of Range Rover classics in the background.
The price is much better now. Not one for the purist but I reckon £12k will bag it though.
Wheels are an easy change. So don't be put off by those. The arches are a bit marmite but it looks well done and it has a 5.0 rv8 instead of a Chevy which in my eyes suits a tvr better in keeping it a British muscle car

Triumph were delevoping their own v8 at the time. A 3.0 but development was rushed due to competing with rover who purchased the rights for the Buick engine. Triumph as we know eventually gave up development. The stag used the triumph v8 and cars that still retain its original engine are more sought after than the rv8 converted versions due to originality even if less powerfully.
Our TVR's powered by a rv/Buick v8 in my eyes is a good British muscle car with that engine. The engine was built in the uk and chosen for a uk built sports car. A Chevy v8 version although more powerful kinda spoils it for me. Good for corvettes, ram trucks, hellcats, etc

Interesting replies ................................ thank you. For me the spoilers are :-
1) The steering wheel .................. that would have to change.
2) The alloy look dash panel ......................... that would ahve to change!
3) The silvered/clear side repeaters ................... change them back to orange.
4) Also think that the front side vents should have been left and used for forced cold air feed into engine bay pssibly induction!
Be interesting to see how the sale goes.
