For my 500hc last summer I bought a Walbro GSL392. Inline external pump that at 3 bar pressure delivers 270lph. Easy enough fuel delivery for your car. Mines fitted and works perfectly. Direct fit too.
I paid £105 on eBay for mine.
Well worth the money.
As for E10 rated, not sure but easy to find out.

I was going to ask the same question.
E5 is bad enough for older cars but if you use E10 and lay the car up for a few months expect problems as it tends to form a white jelly like susbstance that gums up carbs and fuel lines. I have had major problems with farm machinery designed to run E10 having to strip fuel systems when fired up in the spring. I use nothing but E5 now in everything except the daily modern.

That's just scaremongering nonsense. What farm machinery is designed just for E0 petrol? E10 has been around in America since the 1970s. In many categories, the USA is the biggest agricultural producer in the world. Farm machinery has been designed for E10 for decades.
Africa is an enormous agricultural producer and the petrol there in many African countries is often refined and delivered to a very poor standard in many cases. Farm machinery is designed to deal with that.
My parents bought a lawn tractor 26 years ago. It has a Briggs and Stratton engine. It is used all summer and left in the garden shed all winter. Only the battery is removed and put on a trickle charger over winter. It is serviced by the large local farm machinery dealer when it occasionally goes wrong. It has only ever been run on normal Asda or Morrisons unleaded petrol which is now E10. The fuel is not drained from it in winter. In spring a squirt of Easy Start into the air intake getting it running, and it runs perfectly all mowing season on the first turn of the key without any more Easy Start. There is no jelly.
I have a Honda commercial mower. I used to believe the scaremongering, used V-Power, had it serviced every year. It cost more to service than the car one year! Drained the petrol every Autumn etc. etc. until I got bored with it all. I used Morrisons E10 in it all last season. I put it away last Autumn, I didn't start it once over winter. I got it out 2 weeks ago, changed the oil, cleaned the air filter. Filled it with Morrisons E10 left over from last season, turned on the fuel, set the revs to minimum, with no choke. I decided to give it a full pulls on the starter to pull some fuel through, before putting it to the choke position, but it actually started on the 1st pull with no choke, and minimum revs. It takes 2 hours to cut my lawns and it ran faultlessly on that old E10 petrol.
Don't believe the scaremongering.

As usual you have nothing of use to impart to TVR owners, why you lurk on this site is a puzzle to many. Its clear you do not own aTVR.
Oh so you are now an expert on farm machinery, through the experience of a couple of domestic lawn mowers. perhaps you ought to offer your services to the NFU?
If you thought a little before posting you would realise that 99% of agricultural machinery is diesel, so E10 is not a consideration.
I give you credit for consistency, as I have failed to ever read anything you have posedt that is of value.

ks from Lucy P above, and I wasn't scaremongering more concerned with a lesser quality fuel Inc octane went for Demontweeks E10 rated APS EFI Pump 0580464070
coupled to Mocal stainless braided fuel lines, replacement internal and external fuel filters, replacement sensor seal, replacement tank filter main outlet seal
Next job is to try and extract clutch master cylinder internals via footwell (prefer not to try and extract low usage cylinder from inner wing) and measure up for a seal kit
Still need to find a local plater to plate metal filler pipe - found a cap somewhere, but have so many browsers open now ...no idea where! - oe style would do for time being - or affordable compact alloy type.
Next jobs are to replace water pipe hoses and steel pipes, then brake flexis with stainless braided.
