This one, a V8S ? ..... clicky

[Kie s2]

Yup that's the one Mike..,
Is it a true v8 s ?

Kie

[phillpot]

I think so, just strange how they've described it as an S3 4litre ?

[Kie s2]

Do you think this is a conversion job?
Or just a mistake in description ?

[phillpot]

From the limited pictures I'd say "genuine", under bonnet shot looks original.

Apart from our friend and his trials car I don't think I've ever come across a 6 to 8 conversion?

[Kie s2]

Hi , Mike can't see alot on my phone , if everything looks genuine ,
But came across the advert on auto trader ...first ..
Hpi or a phone call to Tony Gilbert , prob Best ..

I shall say your judgement better than mine ..

It may say 290S on the V5 not V8S hence confusion by dealer.
DVLA are a bit clueless where TVR's are concerned.

Looks like a genuine V8S to me.

[BountyHunter]

yes its a V8S

if you check the link i put (they use DVLA data) it shows that it will be down as V8S on the logbook

[Kie s2]

Good work guys , that sorted which model the car is...
But the next question why would you advertise the car as S3 4litre ?
Not the best way for search engines !
Gets you thinking why????

Indeed so, I looked directly on the DVLA site as I did not realise the other site's data came from there

Mine (like many others) still is shown as a 290 though
