** Please note the car had a speedo change at c29, 000 miles, the total mileage is 104, 000**
Serviced every 3000 miles religiously with Valvoline VR1 racing 20w50 semi-synthetic.
All work carried out by TVR 101 and HPC Classics, both trusted TVR specialists. HPC Classics valuation of £14, 000.
Large thick history folder detailing work done dating back to 2001.
Very strong mechanicals - it drives like a new car, despite the mileage. I've actually owned this TVR twice now. It sounds incredible, accelerates even better, handles beautifully with no bumps or rattles, stops straight and quickly.
The engine makes almost no mechanical noise (although the exhaust is fearsome!) and certainly no ticks or taps or thumps. Despite the mileage, everything that would have worn out I have had replaced. The engine looks incredibly clean sitting in the engine bay, having been out of the car last year for maintenance and a clean-up. The oil stays clean and clear between services, it's hard to see on the dipstick it's so clear!
Interior - there are a couple of cracks in the dash and a small rip in the driver's seat that could be attended to.
This is an absolutely smashing car with serious performance.
Reason for sale: home improvements.
