That's a beautiful car you have there, if I may say so. Probably one of the best S1s in the world ? smile

Graham, from the few photos I've seen, chassis #10 fits that description.

Apparently, mine is one of two in North America. Purchased last November from John Wadman at TVR North America, who was the original importer of the car in 1980. I can't take any credit for the way it looks now, everything done by the previous owner.

2100miles...lol...you believe that? especially not when it comes from Douglas Valley

a crashed 2,8 wedge is worth a few hundred pound...not more!!!

and the green one in switzerland is advertized since years...you are wondering why?
