Worth some TLC ?

Haven't we seen this one before ?

Also has a seperate ad for the LPG system. Seems to have a lot of very neglected stuff there, including an Esprit S3 with an RV8 conversion.

Can't see how the engine runs judging by the look of the engine bay...

I hope they've at least had the sense to keep the poor thing covered.

A lot of good spares on it.

Why are rare cars like that allowed to get into such a state ?

It looks like it needs dust cleaning off but otherwise not too bad, who needs a hood anyway ;^)

Adam,

I did enquire on you parts hoard list for a hood do you still have it ?

Gas conversion is included, i advertised it to start with and then brought a 450SE, hense the whole car for sale now.

I have three for sale, 390Se, 400Se and 450SE and only want to keep one. The Esprit RV8 is sold, the yellow V8 in the backgroud is 9k, having around 40 odd cars and really keen to reduce the fleet to single numbers.

Engine runs fine, it might run better if i clean the engine bay.

Was raining when i took ethe photos which did not help, its what it is and the end of the day.

Regards


Nick

Yes I still have it but you can buy aftermarket hoods cheaper, as this is the last original TVR-supplied hood around it's really for someone who wants to create a wedge to beat Andy Tank's creation at tne next Wedgefest.

How does it drive on gas and what's the range etc on a charge of LPG?

Ok ref the hood, I am sure aftermarket ones are just as good and no-one can tell the difference, Douglas Valley have complete hoods for £250, but i see new ones are sub £500's

No idea to the other questions, I brought it as is, driven it about 5 miles, saw it was switched to gas but had not noticed performance at all, I brought as a project but now have 2 other wedges so bit ott even for me.
