[Olav Bergman]

Whow! That one sure needs tlc. Looks like accident damage too?
I thought mine was bad, this really is. Would it be recoverable?

Not sure but I'm coveting those indicator lenses!

Chassis looks shot and thats just the bits you can see

[ChrisGadd]

Could be a nice winter project for someone handy with a spanner

[ketvrin]

i love the "Confuse-the-witnesses" colour scheme...

I think you might need the full set of spanners too Chris...

[ChrisGadd]

And probably more than one winter

No declaration re any accident damage and as its a combination car looking at the colours and different bonnet, etc. hmmm!!

Hint Hint MAKE SURE YOU HPI. DO NOT BE CONFUSED WITH IT HAVING A LOG BOOK.

Looks like it's had more hits than "Take That"
Shouldn't that title read Unstarted rather than Unfinished?

Lovely, bit of paint, few tweaks, you're away.

Bargepole no touchy......

The TVR equivalent of Johnny Cash's "One piece at a time" surely.

I'd have to go with the red as the original - the windscreen frame surely hasn't been replaced ?

My thinking as well,but whichever colour is correct it suely meant the body had to come off to allow a green rear to be grafted to a red front

So the original colour could have easily been red or green and the donor car was green or red

Plus the bulkhead is green,well i think its green

You are both wrong, the original colour is grey. The rear of the car is original. The bulkhead has been painted grey to match the rear. The bonnet is new.

The car is not mine or anything to do with me, but i know.

I thought that grey was green

whatever, she's got to be worth a grand of someones money providing she's fully documented. She doesnt look very nice at the moment but half way through a project who's does ?
At least you can see haw much work needs doing to her unlike mine where I found a lot that I had not expected...
It will be a lot of work I'm sure but anyone buying it cannot be in doubt about that.
lets be fair lads, its probably only a winter rebuild and respray away from being a decent car.
If a PH'er buys it I would be interested in the rebuild story...

good luck to whoever buys her - someone will - eventually...
