cars original spec?
Discussion
I think without the original order sheet being with the car when you purchased it, it'll be a difficult find.
A) There was no standard spec as such - small volume manufacturer built primarily to customer spec.
B) TVR as a company no longer exist = no records to be accessed.
I'm lucky, as many owners are, that I got a folder stuffed full of history, including the order sheet and even a letter from TVR Blackpool thanking the original purchaser for his order (wonder how many manufactures went to such lengths?). I also have the TVR original S series brochures - models and options list - these are frequently listed on eBay and I think great to have with the car. Looking at those and in conjunction with your car it might help you identify "likely" original spec. Of course subsequent owners may have added or even removed original items for aftermarket "enhancements".

I believe that if you get in touch with Richard Sails, the TVRCC Archivist, he may be able to help.
The TVRCC were allowed access to copy all the records, build sheets, specs etc during the latter days of PW's time at the helm.
Let us know how you get on, I'm thinking of doing the same myself..
