Thank you.
Yep it’s all his fault why the cars so good.
He rebuilt the engine too. That wasn’t necessary either, I just fancied it being refreshed biggrin

It took years to dial out the dreaded shunt which can plague the V8 models and the MBE with bespoke mapping and new dif removed all trace of it.

It’s a great car I never thought I’d sell but times change.
I will do a few more jobs like re coat the seats and odds and sods before actually selling it.

In the hands of a dealer it might well fetch a very high price but I think I’ll be realistic as prices have fallen during the cost of living crisis.
Mostly I hope someone will care for it the way I have.



Hi please let me know what’s been done to it and what you are looking for it.

Thanks
PM’d you. smile

Look for Classic Chim profile
Here's your profile. When searching for pistonheads results it's best to use google and put site: pistonheads.com in the search.

edit: Just noticed a : next to a P gives an tongue out emoji edited to ass a space between them. If using a search you need no space.

Thanks very much for that.

I’d just like to thank everyone whoever gave me advice and helped me along the way.
Peter, Anthony, Simon and Yorkshire Pete, Dom and Jason at Powers Performance, Adrian at Central TVR
Frank for technical advice and my friend Gazza for lending me his Garage ( during Covid) and his two post ramp to enable the body off repairs.
And everyone on PH who inspired me and also offered lots of knowledge umpteen times.
In response to the question regarding price I’d be looking at around 17-19k which I think is good value and as with all things that’s negotiable smile the windscreen fitted cost £900 alone.
A few jobs I’ll be doing shortly will include a new walnut dash, full geometry set up and MOT via Powers Performance.
The car will be available for sale in around a month or so.
Message me directly via email which is shown on both my accounts if interested.
Thanks Alun.

Wow for that I may be tempted myself. It would may cost me less to change than add the aftermarket ECU I'm contemplating.

As you can see it’s competitively priced.
