vehicle description:

I HAVE FOUND THE SERVICE HISTORY AND LOADS OF RECEIPTS IN THE FOLDER PLUS IM STILL LOOKING FOR THE ORIGINAL TVR BUILD RECORD SHEET ETC ETC, ONCE I FOUND IT I WILL UPDATE THE LISTING
HERE FOR SALE WITH GREAT REGRET IS MY TVR WEDGE FHC. THE CAR IS ONE OF 49 EVER BUILT IN FHC SHAPE, HAS THE RED INTERIOR AND VERY VERY RARE WHEELS WHICH ARE ONE OF 25 EVER MADE. REGISTRATION PLATE NUMBER: B788 UWU V5 ON MY NAME I"M ONLY SELLING THE CAR AS I HAVE SERIOUS LOWER BACK PROBLEMS WHICH STARTED WITH HERNIATED DISCS AND NOW IS MORE SERIOUS THAN I ANTICIPATED. THE CAR IS SOLID WITH NO BODY CRACKS EXCEPT 2 INCH CRACK IN THE FRONT LOWER CORNER LIP. THE TVR HAS HAD A LOT OF WORK DONE IN 2009 FOR THE MOT AND THE WORK CONTINUED JUST AFTER. THE FOLLOWING WAS REPLACED AT THE TIME: 1. BRAND NEW FRONT SUSPENSION SHOCK AND SPRINGS 2.BRAND NEW FRONT DISC HUBS AND BEARINGS PLUS NEW PADS 3.BRAND NEW BUSHES AND FEW OTHER BITS AND BOBS AT THE FRONT 4.BRAND NEW CALIPERS (ONE FITTED AND ONE STILL NEEDS TO BE FITTED) 5.BRAND NEW FRONT BRAKE HOSES (ONE I"VE CLAMPED SECURELY AND CUT AT THE BOTTOM IN ORDER TO MAKE THE CAR MOVE FREELY AND PULL IT OUT OF MY GARAGE) 6.BRAND NEW HEADLIGHT MOTORS 7.BRAND NEW INDICATORS (STILL NEEDS FITTING) HENCE WHY FRONT BUMPER IS NOT ON THE CAR. 8.BRAND NEW REAR DISCS AND PADS 9.BRAND NEW REAR SUSPENSION SHOCK AND SPRINGS 10.BRAND NEW EXHAUST SYSTEM 11.BRAND NEW CONTROL MODULE 12. BRAND NEW CLUTCH 13.FULL FRESH SERVICE HAVING SAID ALL THIS, THE WORK WAS DONE BACK IN 2009 AND HAS DONE 20 MILES IF THAT SINCE. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PARTS THAT WAS REPLACED YOU CAN SEE IT"S NEW BUT SINCE THE CAR HAS BEEN STOOD FOR SOMETIME NOW IT"S GOT SOME PITTING AND OBVIOUS SURFACE RUST. I"VE JUST REPLACED THE TWO FRONT TYRES AND GOT THE INDICATORS AND THE FRONT BUMPER IN ORDER TO BE FITTED ON AND ALSO GOT THE OTHER FRONT CALIPER WHICH NEEDS FITTING PLUS GOT TWO WINDOW FRAMES THAT WILL COME WITH THE CAR. I HAD TO CLAMP ONE OF THE BRAKE HOSE AND CUT IT IN ORDER TO MAKE THE CAR ROLL FREELY, I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW BRAKE HOSE WHICH WILL GO WITH THE CAR IN ORDER TO GET REPLACED BY NEW OWNER. ONE WHEEL CAP HAS THE TVR PLASTIC LOGO MISSING BUT ALL OTHER ONES ARE STILL THERE. GOT TWO KEYS (NOT IN GREAT SHAPE BUT CHEAP TO REPLACE AS ARE SIMPLE STRAIGHT KEY NOT LIKE NEW MODEL CARS ONLY £9 FROM A LOCAL KEY CUTTER. I BELIEVE I GOT THE SERVICE RECORD BOOK AND FEW OTHER THINGS (BUT I CAN"T GUARANTEE THAT I WILL FIND THEM AS I DON"T REMEMBER WHERE I PUT THEM, SO IF FOUND WILL BE GOING WITH THE CAR). THE CAR WAS MOT"D AND WAS DRIVEN HOME AND ALL THE ABOVE WORK WAS CARRIED OUT AND THE RECOMMITIONING WAS STARTED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNERS DAD. SADLY THE GUY I BOUGHT IT FROM HIS DAD WHO OWNED THE CAR PASSED AWAY SHORTLY AFTER FINISHING BODY OFF RESTORATION AND THEN THE SON HAD IT WHO I BOUGHT IT OFF, IF YOUR READING RIGHT NOW, YOU WILL NOT FIND TASMIN WITH SUCH GOOD SOLID CHASSIS AND NOT TO MENTION IT"S A FIXED HEAD COUPE. THE CAR RAN OK LAST YEAR APRIL AND I"M CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING IT STARTED AGAIN BUT DUE TO MY BACK PROBLEMS I"M A LITTLE SLOW AS CAN"T BEND FOR TOO LONG AS I SEIZE UP! I WILL UPDATE LISTING ONCE THAT HAS BEEN ACHIEVED AND CAR RUNNING AGAIN. AS OF NOW IT"S NOT RUNNING DUE TO STANDING. AS FAR AS I REMEMBER THE SON OF THE OLD MAN WHO HAD IT DID A FULL BODY OFF RESTORATION ON THE CHASSIS AND THE SON DID THE MECHANICAL WORK. ENGINE AND GEARBOX ARE BULLETPROOF, CHASSIS VERY GOOD STRAIGHT AND SOLID HENCE WHY I BOUGHT THE CAR AS THE HARD WORK WAS ALREADY CARRIED OUT AND WOULD HAVE COST THOUSANDS TO DO AND FOR ME THE ONLY LEFT OVER STUFF TO DO ON THE CAR WAS HAVING IT FULLY RESPRAYED AND SORT SOME OF THE INTERIOR BITS LIKE THE FEW TORN BITS ON THE SEATS. THE SEAT BELTS ARE STIFF AND THE DASH VINYL HAS STARTED TO CRACK AND PEEL. I WAS QUOTED £1200 FOR A FULL PROFESSIONAL SPRAY JOB. THE SEATS I WAS QUOTED £380 AND THE VINYL DASH BITS I WAS PLANNING ON REPAIRING MYSELF BY CUTTING SOME ALUMINIUM SHEET AND COVERING IN CARBON FIBRE VINYL. I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THIS IS A GREAT BASIS FOR RECOMMITIONING, IF YOUR GOOD WITH THE SPANNERS YOU CAN HAVE THIS CAR CLEANED CHECKED AND PREPPED IN NO TIME, (YOU MAY NEED TO REPLACE FEW BITS AND BOBS BUT IN NO TIME YOU CAN HAVE IT BACK ON THE ROAD WITH NEW MOT) AND SIMPLY HAVE IT AND USE IT AS EVERYDAY DRIVE. HAVING SAID THAT IF YOUR INTERESTED IN PROPER JOB IDEALLY YOU WILL NEED TO RESPRAY IT AND DO THE BITS AND BOBS I SAID. THE CAR HAS SIMPLY BEEN STOOD FOR SOMETIME AND AS ONE THAT HAS BEEN STOOD IT WILL NEED ALL THE NECESSARY THINGS GOING OVER AND CHECKED, CLEANED AND SORTED (HENCE WHY I"M SELLING IT AS A RECOMMITIONING PROJECT BUT WELL WORTH HAVING DONE). THIS IS A LOVELY CAR AND IF NOT FOR MY CONDITION I WOULD STILL BE KEEPING IT BUT I SIMPLY WOULDN"T GET THE TIME TO WORK ON IT AND ALSO DUE THE HEALTH ASWELL. WHOEVER BUYS IT WILL HAVE A BLAST SORTING IT OUT, RARE CAR RARE WHEELS AND IT"S PRICED MORE THAN FAIR. IF INTERESTED IN VIEWING PLEASE DON"T HESITATE TO CONTACT ME AND I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SHOW EVERYONE THE CAR. AGAIN IN ORDER NOT TO HAVE DISAPPOINTMENT PLEASE UNDERSTAND I"M SELLING IT WITH NEEDING WORK AND RECOMMITIONING BUT CHEAP AND WELL WORTH DOING, SO PLEASE DON"T INSULT ME WITH YOUR OFFERS OR SWAPS AS I"M NOT INTERESTRED AND ALSO PLEASE DON"T TURN UP AND START TYRE KICKING AND COMING UP WITH ALLSORTS OF EXCUSES TO DROP THE PRICE DOWN AS IT WON"T WORK WITH ME. I KNOW WHAT THESE CARS ARE WORTH AND I ALSO KNOW THE WORK THAT NEEDS CARRYING OUT SO I"VE PRICED IT MORE THAN FAIR IN ORDER TO GIVE THE NEW OWNER A CHANCE TO FIX IT AND STILL HAVE THOUSANDS OF PROFIT ON IT. THE CAR IS WHAT IT IS, NOT NEW BUT RARE AND GOOD BASIS FOR SOMEONE TO HAVE A BLAST SORTING AND USING FOR THEMSELVES OR MAKING A KILLING AS I MENTIONED ALREADY. I"M OPEN TO NEAR OFFERS BUT NOT SILLY ONES. THANKS FOR TAKING TIME IN READING MY LISTING AND PLEASE IF INTERESTED COME FORWARD LET"S TALK AND DO A DEAL. THANKS AGAIN!!
