I have the full history of the car from new.
It was built as an Isle of Man car, though the first registered keeper (29/01/1998) never actually took delivery of it. It was then used by its first real owner from 30 miles to 17,126 miles from January 1998 through to September 2000. He made some rather poor property decision and needed to sell it quickly, so sold it to a neighbour of mine (Alex) on 28th September 2000 who’d always wanted a TVR. It was only after Alex bought it that he thought ‘what am I going to do with it’, as he already owned several everyday cars. Therefore it was only used on the odd weekend, for a bit of pleasure. He last had it on the road in early 2005 (31st May 2005 tax disc was still in the car when I bought it, though he’d bought the 30th November 2005 tax disc which I have still whole from the Post Office as it never went in the car.) He then parked it in the corner of his workshop under a dust-sheet where it stayed for the next 9 years. So effectively in his 13¼ years of ownership he did ~ 1,100 miles. I have a letter from him confirming this is correct.
I bought the car with 18,272 miles on in January 2014. I drove the car as it was for almost a year then decided it should be brought up to a top standard. Therefore pretty much all of the above works have taken place in the last 18 months - January 2015 to date. I have a book/file where everything carried out/spent on the car has been documented.
MOTd until 4th February 2017 with no advisories but as you’ll gather from the above it’ll fly through any MOT as it’s basically a new car!
I’ll stop rabbiting on at this point. If you’re interested, give me a call/text on 07788 811491. The car is located in Evesham, Worcestershire.
