I was going to suggest www.TVRGear.com. I have used them before without a problem but the site seems to be down at the moment

Thanks darren,

anyone know any indis near notts that are worth going to except for trackcar or TMS?
(or which you prefer out of those two?)

darren as a fellow 'Red Rose' owner how do you know it it is a RR?
mine was sold as a RR (i would have bought it even if it wasn't ) but my only clues that it is, is the hand written page in the service book (which seems to be writen after it was first registered)
and 'Red Rose' written in marker on the side of the head!

anyone have any tips?

cheers

TVR Power is probably your best bet.

As far as the engine goes I think it's just the marker pen that gives it away. If it's a full red rose spec car it should have the larger Cerb 4.5 brakes and height adjustable dampers.

not investigated the dampers except that they say Nitron on them.

the brakes look larger than those of my neighbor’s, i'll get the tape measure out at the weekend

thanks for the parts help (ps its .co.uk not com)
