I don't think I'd spend too much on new wheels to sell your car, although not my cup of tea I don't think they'd stop me buying it. Plus if you change the wheels next people will say the reason its not sold straight away is the rear lights, the engines modified, its green, its still too far, etc. Its quite a special car and is going to need a certain buyer not just any chimaera buyer, it may be no help but I'd clean the chassis/outriggers up as they don't look brilliant covered in black waxoyl on the pictures and as your going to be quite a distance for a lot of people they might not want to take a chance if the chassis looks worse in person.
Only my ramblings and thoughts, I think its a nice looking car for the right person and nice bull dog!

If I'd have had a sniff last weekend I'd have bin over to see it..... & probably melted on the spot. Exactly my kind of car.
Got a set of standard wheels here, not perfect, few marks but cheap.

Hey Wyn how's it going. What are the tyres like and how much mate?

Hi

Got a set of original Imola's here in good condition. I'm based in Cambridge but happy for you to arrange a courier to collect.

Let me know if you are interested and I can PM some pics etc

Cheers

Sorry to interrupt your wheel search, but do you have much independent or "enthusiast" inspection/reports/general info etc etc for the car?

I'm not in a TVR yet but i'm looking so i'm afraid I'm not familiar with many people on here, which is why I ask the question.

I am a VERY long way from you (I mean we're talking lunar miles) but if there are enough reasons for me to make the trip then I could be seriously tempted (I could also be divorced and taking my kids to McDonalds at weekends!!).

Mods are not an issue for me, I just want a good one.

and I quite like the wheels
