I need to put an extra lottery ticket on tonight, what a fantastic race car with history.

Nope. Complete opposite for me.

Would much have preferred all red.

Lovely resto though OP. Your car, your choice! biggrin

Was always red and white Richard. Thought I’d try and be a little sympathetic smile

The original looks better than the resto. Too much frontal white for me.

Wouldn’t do if we were all the same smile

Our other TVR may be more to your taste, but I suspect you’re not a Tamora lover wink

That's a cracking build. Is it going to be too good to race though?

I had a small spin at Loton recently. Didn't even leave the tarmac but somehow managed to leave me with half a dozen or more stone chips down the side. Not a problem on mine but I'd be gutted if I'd done such a loverly paint job.

Guess the answer is just done spin.

I ...... for one ....... love anything (well mostly) anyone's effort toward the work put in to get these projects to completion.

I do like the the white lip on the lower air intake at the radiator opening. Always found the white circle, for the soon to follow number, a neat looking bit of work.

The suspension bits look as though they are chromed or possibly nickle plated. A friend of mine has a Rickman motorcycle with a nickle frame that looks just super to my eyes.

All my available free time is taken up by my '95 Volvo wagon rebuild. I have to get my M work completed by a custom shop if I ever want to drive it again.

Lovely bit of work.
Congratulations.

Looking pretty spectacular, especially for an old racing car.

With all those TVRs in great condition, you’re going to have a vacancy for a car that’s being restored. What’s in your sights? Racing car for Mrs. S.?

Hopefully the race car will sell on completion Bernard. Looking to free up garage space so other cars don’t need to live outside…

Mmmmmoving on, then. Well, I don’t think it could have been in better hands. Hopefully you’ll give it a full shakedown, before it goes.
