This car used to belong to a neighbour of mine, he was the 1st owner but didn't have the car roadworthy when I saw it in the 90's. There was a thread on here some years back when it was offered for sale in Holland. It was the car that first got me into TVR. I think it may have been the 1st of the V8 2+2s. Good to hear that someone's got it running again.

sounds like its been off the road for some time then - DVLA shows it as last taxed in 1991 (and interestingly not indicated as exported either- guess that makes it easier to re-import ..)

I owned that car together with a friend about 8 years ago. really special car. it is the first 2+2 V8 produced by TVR specially ordered by a proffessor in chemistry at the university of Cambridge. his name is mentioned on a brass plate on the glove compartment. I spoke to the smart man and he added some nice ECU improvements like a adjustable "power " and "boost" knob on the ECU which really worked.
I really like to buy it back but unfortunately I started a very similar project. A 2+2 Trident Clipper converted with Tamora chassis and suspension and 2008 Ford V8 Alloy 500hp engine.
back to the 2+2 V8 TVR……..buy it .

Hi William.

I thought it was you that still owned it!!!

If its in decent condition then I would be interested, but Im guessing the chassis is shot like mine is!

Would be nice to get some mor einfo on it on its current condition.

Hey Stu, everything ok ?
not sure about the Chassis but it is on the road so it has a APK (dutch MOT).
In my memory, the chassis was rusted but not rotten.

I'd love to see some pics of that.
