TVR S V 8

[Juliam1970]

I thought I would share my baby. Just spent 18 months restoring . New hood, carpets, full wheel refurb and replaced all plastic wood trim with real wood. Full electrical upgrade. Tidied under the bonnet. Goes like a steam train. What do you think ?

Hi juliam

WOW! What a good looking car. It looks like new - beautiful - Has she had a respray too? A real labour of love. Well done.

I'm looking for a V8S your photographs have spurred me on in my search.

Do you have some photographs of the engine. I bet that looks as good too.

[S2Mike]

Looks excellent, you have made a great job of the restoration.
Optical illusion, thought it was left hand drive and with the sunshine imagined you were based across the pond, but your profile states Buckinghamshire......UK. Maybe see you around. !
And Welcome to the S forum.

Great job Julian – love the wheels. Will you be bringing it along to the Bucks meet to show it off?

1st Sunday of the month, next one is the 5th January so but one will criticise you if you don’t want to bring it out on salty roads - well not much anyway

[TVR-Stu]

Very nice, love the blue roof with the white paintwork.

[Juliam1970]

Looks Very nice! Where did you get the wheels done? and if you don't mind, how much?

[Juliam1970]

Wheels were done at Lemass in chalfont st Peter £450 but I supplied the new screws which I got from Germany

[Dave_M]

That looks fantastic!!

[BabyDriver]

Thanks for the photograph of the engine bay - nice to see that you have left things more or less as standard - I like originality.
