THis TVR has been garaged for the past 16 years and started and run as necessary. It is a great find with enormous potential for someone to spend a small amount of time and cash. Car is completely original (paint, interior) with exception of radio. The cars runs strong and has been driven. Mileage original 38, 600. Carpet, seats, truck, wheel cover, top cover are all original. What needs to be done? Body: The car has never been in an accident and there is no body damage. The hood and tops of right and left fenders have faded with clear-coat and will need to be repainted. Rest of car is perfect (paint). There is one small crack on front bottom spoiler. The targa top is in excellant condition. The read hatch is complete but will need new window and a correction to a tear or two. It is all complete and functions as it should. There is no rust to tubular frame. Both doors need slight adjustment but close. There is only an ignition key. Previous owner could not find door keys. Window glass on right side needs replacing (broken). Left side and front windshield perfect and no fading. Wheels are original, including spare, but eventually will need tires from car sitting. Veneer on dash needs replacing; cracked. Electrical: Headlights only come up and down with a mind of their own. May need new motor. Radio/antenna do not work. Parking lights and exterior lights all work but directional need attention. All guages work except the rpm guage. Mechanical: Car runs strong, No transmission issues or rear end issues. The car will need a new exhaust system from converter back. It's all intact, never altered but there are pin holes in mufflers and several in exhaust tubes. I have recently driven the car twenty miles with no problem. Oil pressure remains around the 80 mark as it should and there are no fluid leaks at all.
