I think you will find the yellow 2500 with the glass roof sold by A C Rooney is LGF 12K, also featured in TVR Muscles and Curves.
In answer to someone's question (possibly the op?) it has a 140mph speedo

JYT 16k started life yellow. It has a 160 mph speedo, so there!

[Mr Tiger]

Thanks for the info guys. All duly noted.

Does anyone know the reg or have any updates on the yellow one that sold on eBay in January 2012 by the way?

what about this one, they talk about Vixen 2500 but on the rear it says Tuscan V6

is it a Vixen gone Tuscan? or is it a Tuscan V6

This one was LBY6K, a rhd 2500 here being driven by it's than owner Jim Oliver at the Cadwell Park track day in 1989. It has now been rebuilt by David Gerald and has a 5 litre Rover V8 and is registered FOX1G.

An interesting web site which I wasn't aware of before - thanks for this. As for 2500 or Tuscan, I certainly can't tell.

Wonderful photo Oliver and interesting history. The car still seems to be taxed and MOT'd. One more for the list

Here's the 160 mph speedo on JYT 16K. I rather feel it's like Spinal Tap' s amps...

It was at the Pre 80s meet in 2013

[GTRene]

nice one with TVR 5.0 engine? I guess good power for such car.

[alphaone]

If I remembered correctly it was a Rover V8 from a Chimaera. There was also a couple of Vixens with 302s in them.

edit - Also David Gerald brought along their Titan

Great pics Alphaone.

Thanks,

FOX1G is definitely on the road, there is a photo of it in the current issue of Sprint on the Rusty Nail Run last autumn. Somewhere I have some better close up photos of it but can't find them due to the domestic decorating upheaval, so you'll have to make do with an action shot.

String that holds the bonet from blowing over needs changing. Might go for a different colour next time.

[Mr Tiger]

I 'found' a few more last night.

Does anyone recognise this car, the location or have any idea of what the registration might be?







The next few are of Michael Parden racing a 2500.








This last one tugs at the heart strings. I think there's something sad but undeniably beautiful about cars like this.



The DVLA site states it's been untaxed for 19 years. I hope it gets the love and attention it deserves soon.
