Just thought I'd post up some info that may came is use for some people.
Rover SD1 window motors and control arms do fit and work, but I think TVR may have removed and rotated the motor, so you can fit a speaker in the lower front of the door, if you don't have speakers here then you can use as on the SD1.

Also if you remove the runner that attached to the door and remove the channels, as per picture, you can wind the glass up and out of the door, handy if it's broken. There is also a stop wire but they may have failed by now.

The connector on the SD1 motor is slightly different, but they share the same connector internals, so you can just swap the plastic bits.

If you wish to change the control arm and motor, its best to remove the door of the side beams, and remove the unit via this hole.

On my S1 Tasmin, the window motor wasn't bolted in tightly (to the back of that square recess, you can see the 4 bolts) so it had rocked back and forwards and broken two of the corners off the recess so the motor flapped in the breeze and the glass went where it wanted to. Fixing it was the first GRP repair I ever did biggrin
