Three 3000m restoration projects on eBay
Discussion
The engine is not a big issue as they are readily available and if you need any parts I have loads of essex engine parts cranks heads pistons blocks manifolds etc etc which Im happy to donate to a Tvr project. I you need any help or advice on your restoration here is a good place to ask.
Good luck with your project.
Chris
Good luck with your project.

I know of a 3000M that's been in a garage for 20 years. Result of a divorce and ownership struggle. It was immaculate in the early 90's having had loads of work done by a father and son. I have an image of it from way back when:
The father passed away last year, the son has no intention of getting back on the road and it sits in his mother's garage. I think eventually he'll sell it as it stands.

I'm probably way off with this but I'm wondering if your 3000M project might be my old car. Mine was chassis number 2555FM and was last heard of in Ireland.

when did you have it I no my car has been in brum for at least 7 years.
Well the red one did £4001 which I think is a very fair price from the description. I believe there is a long way to go with these cars values as they are still very under valued for such a rare and unique car. Good luck to the new owner and hopefully they will be a member here and post up some pictures and updates if their progress.

Thanks Chris. Might need some luck with this one...Chris
So quick update on the blue one had a quick poke about after work.
Put a battery on and the engine spins freely and the oil pressure comes up nicely.
But no spark at all. New coil and contactless ignition ordered. And well go from there.
I think the car was originally yellow. Can anyone tell from the chassis number?
The blue respray is quite poor.
The chassis its self looks remarkably good not even surface rust on the outriggers near the fron wheels
Inside its a bit damp and smelly but a new dash and carpets it will be fine. The seats are almost perfect much better nick than my last chim.
More to follow.
Keep.us up to date with tbe red one please

As im still waiting for my new electronic ignition kit to turn up i decided to fix a few other bits today.
We now have a horn, wipers, washers,indicators,and all the other lights apart from the brake lights working.
Also fixed the heater blower cooling fan and heated rear screen.
Fingers crossed the parts will arrive tomorrow and i can get it going.
