TVR Vixen S3. 1971.
Body: New bonnet. Resprayed a few years ago. The photographs don't do the colour justice There are a few chips etc, all of which can be seen in the photographs.
Interior: Standard Vixen interior except the seats which are bucket seats.
Engine: Ford 1760. Lightened flywheel. Fast Road Cam. Duplex timing chain. One piece bottom pulley. The fast road cam and tune means it has to be “driven”. It runs lumpy at low revs.

MOT & Road tax. It's MOT and Tax exempt, but is given a yearly "once over" by a local MOT station.
History:
Pre COVID the car was used on a regular basis having a "run out" once a week, weather permitting. Post COVID the car hasn't been used much, but it's been turned over/ started every week and the battery has been on trickle charge.
Jobs: The rev counter is lazy.
Keys: Two ignition keys and one door lock key. Locking wheel nuts on the front. Update 04/ 10/ 2024: I've done an online damage check of the car and nothing has been recorded against it. The car did have rear end bump in the past which was repaired, but it wasn't an insurance right off. The last owner had the car fully inspected and no issues where found.
