Rediscovered these in the garage over the break so gave them a clean up. Came off my 2005 Tuscan in 2006 when I acquired it and replaced with new shocks.



- Are they the originals? (I'm assuming they are)

- Who is the manufacturer?

- Do they have any inherent value or should they be destined for the tip?

Any help greatly appreciated!

You replaced the shocks at just a year old!

I'd be interested in the springs if you're going to bin then?

Happy to cover postage and a little more smile

The Mk1 OEM shocks were Harvey Bailey’s (red/orange colour), then for the Mk2 they switched to Bilstein’s (black). Although some early mk2’s had Harvey Baileys fitted. I suppose using up old stock lying around in true TVR factory style.

They switched because the HBE stuff was a bit cack and they developed a far better handling car on billsteins wink

To be fair to Harvey Bailey, it's not the only thing I've changed! wink

Phillpott - drop me a PM. You are welcome to have them if you have a use for them, so happy to make arrangements accordingly.

Is it me or has the "message me" link been removed from members profiles?

Where abouts are you, thinking I'd may be take a drive out rather than you have to mess around finding a sturdy box and packing them up?

Still there. ‘Email me’ just above the photo on the profile page.

If you are not signed in the option won't show, dunno why, something to do with un-subscibed peepers I would think.

cool

These show the difference to the "Email me" option when Signed-in and Not.
