the ad says 1971 TVR 2500/Grifith, but what is it?
chassis looks a bit Tuscan V8 but the whole car is build up again and in some parts way different.

edit, in the new link I found this: VIN: LVX1947T
so its not a Tuscan V8 base but I guess a Vixen 2500?

some parts look great and some parts look...well...not so in place for this classic?

anyway here it is, nice to see all those pictures also the underside etc.
and ow...its not cheap ;-)

Description
You’ve NEVER seen a car quite like this before, especially one that is capable of seemingly immeasurable power and precision. This 1971 TVR 2500/Griffith was built to do one thing: perform. With over $150K invested in this Martin Lilley Griffith-style Brit, this car will literally raise all of your hairs, and may even cause you to lose them. It is an intense car and a true track warrior. You will not be beaten off the line. Period. This TVR has a Boss 302 V8 engine, which guaranteed 396hp out of the box; however, with TWM Fuel Injection, Computer Controlled 8-Down Draft Weber Intakes, Tremec T5 Transmission with 5-speed Hydraulic Clutch, Aluminum GT40 Heads, MSD Ignition, Upgraded Cooling System, Ceramic Coated Custom Headers, and Roller Rockers, this car is easily pushing out 450+ horses with a top speed calculated around 220mph. In order to harness all of that breathtaking power, the 2100-pound car is outfitted with an incredibly impressive suspension system and running gear: Adjustable Coil Over Shocks, Front and Rear Sway Bars, Chrome Moly Frame with Integrated Roll Cage, SSR Competition Wheels, Wilwood Calipers, Front and Rear Adjustable Brake Bias, and Corvette Rear End. Other outstanding features include Supertrapp Dual Exhaust, Big Stuff Computer, Sunroof, Fuel Cell, 5-Point Shoulder Harness, Kirkee Racing Seats, Racing Pedals, Grant Steering Wheel, Push Start Ignition, JVC CD Deck with Aux Input, and 5.1 Surround Sound with Kicker Speakers. This TVR means business. You simply cannot recreate this car for the price offered here, nor would you want to because it took about 5 years to put this British beauty together. Bottom line is, if you don’t like speed, this car is not for you. With less than 6K miles, this is an awesome opportunity at a one-of-a-kind car – don’t miss out!
