Tasmin Workshop manual (1980)

Where can I get a workshop manual and wiring diagram for a 1980 Tasmin 2.8

Welcome aboard!

I dunno if there was ever a workshop manual (certainly in the days that the dealers used to know what a pointy TVR was, the spanners there didn't seem to read one ;^).

There is a parts manual with exploded views. I think this is available on a CD these days.

Also there is Steve Heath's Volume 1 - Wedge Maintenance - known as the Bible.

Steve - where's volume 2? ;^)

The "Workshop manual" I've seen is little better than an incomplete parts manual. I'm sure someone has it scanned to PDF and will email it to you.
Steve Heath (SHPUB) wrote the Bible (Vol 1) which gives the best information available. Better information will be found in Vol 2 when he gets round to writing it! (hint hint)

I have a proper TVR Tasmin workshop manual about 4 inches thick. Covers the engine, gearbox and some trim. All things that a Capri Haynes manual would cover better and the useful specialised TVR bits are ignored.

I do have various wiring diagrams including an 1981 280 which I will look at and try and scan tomorrow but it may end up in bits. I will e-mail what I can.
