Might need a lick of paint

Just saw this on ebay.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1973-TVR-Taimar-M-Series...

Anyone fancy a little winter project?

Surprised the advert doesn't include "never raced or rallied" to go with the "barn find" - but the rollcage might be a giveaway!

Off road since '95 according to DVLA.

The blue one behind it is the Taimar , the one which is in foreground and appears to be the one for sale is an "M".......

[Terminator]

I have it, on very good authority, that the Taimar is being listed separately in a couple of weeks time.

Unless someone wants to buy it now. PM me for details.

The North American winter project option.
Definitely needs paint.

looks like the white/red one had a whack in the bum; there are holes above the near side rear lamp or is it black paint ?

Pretty sure it's paint, but it does look like it's had a knock in the back.

[DarkMatter]

Not exactly a 'barn find' is it? It's been outdoors for 3 years and there's not a barn in sight, more of a scrap yard find I think.

Early ones were metal, hence the chromed ones (you can't chrome rubber ).

Ours on the 1600M are metal painted black.

Not to keen about that bar across the back wonder what there idea was there maybe to hang there washing on when camping at Races

hi everyone, it was at £1850.00 approaching the end, i placed a bid of £2055.00 with 7 seconds to go, only to usurped by auto bid that the winner was using. you set a price in your mind that you think for you is o.k. and be happy and no self recrimination if you don't win. he must have a plan that allows him to budget that much on amajor project like that and i say good luck to him. best regards and best wishes to that guy or girl who bought it. keith.

Hybrid car. Older body on an M chassis. I wonder how difficult it would be, to build a LWB Tuscan V8, out of that.

Best,
