Hi All. New to the site and just finding my feet, Got a 1981 Tasmin that I have been restoring over winter, this is my first TVR of many and just need a little direction from the pros.
I plan to take it for a MOT in the next few weeks and put it on the road but there is a couple of parts I need to finish the car.
1). Drivers Side Window Glass, can't find one of these for love nor money.
2). Front sidelight covers, must be a Ford Part me thinks.
Also will need a new front window at some point, seem to have a white milky look to one of the edges.

Thankyou and look foward to hearing from you
I live in the East Sussex area

As you are new to this site (welcome), there is a search function (see top of the page). With this function you should be able to find information on: if side windows are available and where. Front is not a problem, side could be.
But is a side window necessary for an MOT? No experience with MOT in the UK as I have a dutch wedge. Normally go in roof/windows down and that is not an issue in Holland....

Front indicator is not ford, but renault 12 and hard to find. But perhaps somebody on here can point to a possible source. Or replace with something suitable.

If the side windows are that rare then it maybe time to sell my spare ones? Front indicators are the same as fitted to a reliant rialto, search ebay for them, usually cheap from there unless advertised as tvr fit.

Hi Backfire

Welcome to Wedge ownership!

In Sept 2006 I amazingly got my side window glass from:

Mobile Windscreens
St Philips Rd
Bristol
0117 3042000

I think the guy there gets them made specially. I was charged £70
