My guess is that someone with any 4.3 variant TVR will buy it for the plate, and break/strip the rest. Fifteen bids as of 10:30pm today, so a few folk have spotted the potential.

He's not joking when he says 'more years than he can remember.' It hasn't had an MoT since electronic recording started 11 yrs ago!

Take heed of this from the gov website. I knew a car had to be taxed or SORN without a break to remove a number plate but was not aware there was a time limit:

"Your vehicle will need to be taxed if it’s had a SORN for longer than 5 years. It might also need to be inspected."

So. MoT required........

"There seems to be a query as to the location of the drive shaft and Gearbox bell housing."

What!?

I've got a bell housing if that's putting anyone off

Driveshaft? I suspect he means propshaft?


I've had an engine in an Insignia estate so shouldn't be a problem in a Mondeo

It's only a little V6 after all

I had an engine n the back of a Hillman Imp!


I've got a spare propshaft, just needs a new u/j. But perhaps he means one of the driveshafts is missing?

I hope somebody completes the restoration and brings another lovely S back onto the road.
( Said he with an S1 still up on axle stands. )

If only I had the time and facilties...
