Description

For sale is my dark blue metallic TVR Tuscan with cream interior. I bought this car from Racing Green TVR specialists in June 2012, where crucially it had a full engine re-build at 34,000 miles and was just run-in. It has now done 51,000 miles. The last service done in April 2022 at TVR 101 was a 12k included tappets, new radiator and hoses, engine mounts and suspension set up. It is due a service, but has only done 4k miles since the last one. It had new rear shocks in June 2024. The car has always been kept in my nice warm garage and used on sunny summer days. It has 10 months MOT. When I bought the car, the front end was re-sprayed to remove stone chips. The paint is generally good, but has a lot of small scuffs and chips from 24 years of driving. The interior is good but the carpet is naturally faded from the sun. The wheels were re-sprayed when I bought her, but the paint has come off in a couple of places, so they would benefit from some attention. Overall the body is in an original condition and can be enjoyed as it is or touched up to bring it back to perfect. It had a new clutch and refurbished slave cylinder in 2021. The engine is good but the MOT picked up a minor oil leak that I have not investigated. I've factored the cost of repair for this and a 6k service into the price. Four good Michelin Pilot Sport tyres. The car has a cat bypass pipe on it, which improves the sound and exhaust flow and does not affect the MOT as these cars are officially exempt from emissions checks. This is an appreciating classic car, but it does need looking after. It would suit someone who wants to work on it themselves, or someone who can afford to pay a specialist. I've enjoyed owning this car for the last 13 years and it is beautiful, loud and unbelievably fast.
