I finally found time at the weekend to fit the clear "freeform" headlights and new petrol cap.
Found the instructions for fitting the cap from this forum really helpful, turned out to be quite easy.
Anyway, here are the results:


Sunshine in Scotland is rare enough that the camera had to come out!

That was the original badge as far as I know.
The indicators were in bad shape so I bought brand new Nissan D21 indicators for abou £15, had to modify the bumper slightly but I like the result.
The wheels are the originals too - not sure but I think these are the ones shown in the photo of my car in the Steve Heath book?

Tinks this is the Last S ever made - it was a TVR Car until it went missing for some time in TVR Storage then the previous owner turned it up and bought it when the factory was cleared (I think thats the story).

It had a few trick bits as it was a factory car.

Look in your bible its in there! (Really there are pics of it).

No offense at all taken - all TVR's are different.
