Mine does this. I adjust it by opening the boot fully then firmly pushing it either left or right as required to sort it out. I guess something is loose in one of the hinges as I have to do it quite regularly..

If you loosen (just enough to allow movement) the bolts securing the hinge to the boot lid, you might find there's a small amount of adjustment available. When it's set as required you can then nip them up.

I had this problem when I got my car back from a respray, Paul at Austec spent ages loostening and tweeking, he even tried to bend the hinges slightly to line it up. He got it close and then said it looked pretty good for a TVR! It's still slightly out.
