Notes
Previous TVR's : 1600M, 3000S, 3000S Turbo, Chimera, Griffith 500 SE
Current car is a 1972 TVR Vixen S3. Purchased July 2010 as a rolling project, having been off the road for the previous 5 years. Chassis is good and the 1760 modified crossflow, is fully rebuilt using race spec components. She's had new brakes, calipers, exhaust, wheels refurbed and a set of boots. The interior was retrimmed completely (DIY job) but looks OK for a novice. Door window seals renewed and some chrome mirrors fitted. Full front & rear suspension rebuild including uprights, quills, springs, shocks, bushes, bearings etc. Rebuilt diff, drive shafts and prop shaft. Lots of other things sorted / replaced also but too many to list. Now a well sorted Vixen and fantastic to drive / own.
Other cars include a 1964 MGB Roadster and a 2006 Defender 90 van.
