Has anyone written, or know of, a list of parts that come from different car manufacturers that are used on Tiv's?

I have a copy of the bible (for the Chimp/Griff) which doesn't appear to have a list, with costs from TVR being higher due to their mark up it would be a good source of info for all the DIYer's.

If no-one has done one maybe I should have a go at one , your thoughts appreciated.

Before you start to write one a bit of advice - don't use apostrophes for plurals.
Good luck........

There is one for the S that I put together from various sources at www.tvrcc-south-wales.co.uk/sparts.asp

Since having the Chimaera has always been in the back of my mind to do one for that, and did start putting one together, based mainly on what was on Peter Beech workshops notes page. The stage to where I got is at www.tvrcc-south-wales.co.uk/partstest.doc

It would be great if an extended list could be put together, and am prepared to do it as per the S list, if there is interest.

Main thing is to collate the info, and get the list started. So if anyone wants to start flooding my mail box with info, carry on and it will be started.

I'll start some investigation and let you know what I find for the Chimp/Griff. Ford/Vauxhall/VW are some of the manufacturers, any others?

Paul

P.S. Thanks for the grammar correction!

A Cerbera one would be nice e.g. fiesta rear lights, land rover radiator etc.

Had a good look through the old forum topics and my TVR books and have now got quite a list forming.

Keep it coming!
