vehicle description:

TVR 280 S1
Ford cologne V6 2.8i
Good bits:-
Engine standard 2.8 V6. Runs very well. Yearly service/oil change although only covering 1000 miles approx. pa.    3500 miles in 8 years!  
Gearbox standard ford 5speed. Good shift, no noises. Rear lobro joints replaced less than 1000 miles. Diff no noises.
Clutch standard, new slave cylinder and fresh oil six months ago.
Cooling standard radiator, double electric fans with manual override switch. Never overheats.
Chassis solid, some surface rust on exposed parts, mostly waxoiled. Both rear semi trailing arms replaced, less than 1000 miles. Laser alignment showing geometry as specified by TVR. It has not seen rain in the last 8 years. Always garaged.
Brakes standard disc/drum. Goodridge braided hoses, (N.B. imperial threads rear metric front???) Recent brake fluid change.
Exhaust stainless, very modified by speed humps but no leaks. Sounds amazing.
Paperwork, V5C present in my name. MOT to June 2016, Taxed but I believe this is now non-transferrable. VIC certificate present (DVLA check after CAT C). Haynes manuals for sierra v6, capri 2.8i and TVR bible by Steve Heath.
Bad bits:-
Body, prior to my ownership the car was extensively damaged down the drivers side. Bonnet, front wing and rear wing. N.B this was recorded as a cat C. Glass fibre has been repaired/replaced and covered with a vinyl wrap. This looks good from a distance, not so great from close up! You have been warned, I strongly recommend viewing before bidding. Also note that I am a shift worker so viewing times will be strictly limited.
Interior, seats have been replaced with very comfortable body hugging recaros. The seats are bolted to the floor with NO adjustment, to my dimensions. I am 6"and 32leg. door cards supplied but have speaker cut outs. No carpets. Dash, all gauges work. Some non standard but good quality switches. Heater controls require attention, adjustment is under the dash, not recommended while driving.
Roof, standard and reasonable condition. I have never tested it in the rain but assume plenty of leaks.
Security, almost non existent. Doors latch but have NO keys. Passenger door glass winder broken. Glass fixed in up position. No rubbers fitted to door glass, some of the original rubbers will be provided. Boot locks with keys.
Electrics, most things work most of the time! Not one of TVR"s best efforts. On the positive side it is fairly easy to fault find and repair. (It has always got me home!)
Summary:-
A roadworthy rare TVR (out of 250 approx built, 50 odd now on the road) I have never seen another of this model on the road. It can be driven as is but would benefit from cosmetic finishing ie fit a carpet, tidy the electrics and fit door cards/rubbers. If you are concerned about insuring the car with cat c, I get the car insured on a classic car policy through A-plan brokers, limited mileage and guaranteed value £3500 for less than £110pa The underwriters are Liverpool Victoria.
I am starting this auction at £2200 based on practical classics price guide. This value is below their group 3 price guide although I would suggest the car is closer to group 2. There is NO reserve and NO buy it now price. I have been as honest as I can,  remember this is a 27 year old car that has been through the wars in the past.
Car can be viewed Basingstoke 2 minutes from Junction 6 M3   Mobile No 07796892061
Payment deposit of £200 by paypal within 24 hours. The remainder cash on collection. I will not accept cheques or bank transfer unless cleared into my account.
