Vixen S3 black bits
Discussion
The press shots of the Vixen S3 show the car with black sills which continues through to the rear end forming a line between the quarter bumpers, But it is very rare to see a picture of an S3 with this black detail. So do we think that TVR did a few that way then quietly dropped it or have so many been repainted without recreating this?
My best guess is that it was TVR trying to move with the times and modernise a 60’s shape for a 70’s market.
What’s weird is that so many S3’s (mine included) have lost this over the years. Whether it was done for aesthetics or because it was in vogue at the time, you don’t see many S3’s which have kept the black sills.
