I will be at Oulton John in the Saga Lout if we survive Harewood on Sunday.

Steve,
It will have a white stripe over the bonnet and roof with a model band when finished. Wearing some nice 15" Compomotive FH split rims

Didn't this car do a few races in the early 80's (when the Indestructible Socks TAsmin was about) with a turbo engine?

It did David. I understand it was running very high HP, but failed to finish consistantly.

Will post some "before" photos soon. A little body work to do to clear the carbs and let some air out the back of the engine bay, then the model band and stripe to be added.

JOhn

The guy at Ferret Photos has some photos of it in Turbo guise if you are interested, may have some others in earlier configurations as well. I expect that Ian B has copies of them (and probably Simon L as well)

Good luck with the project, it will be good to see an M out there fighting it's corner

Love to see more pics and details. This was indeed my dads car. Yes, it was turbocharged at one point. Went like hell but kept breaking. Nothing like keeping in the TVR spirit...!

Roop,
YHM.

DavidY,
Already have the photos you mention from Simon (grass track) L.

[DavidY]

C'mon John spill the benas, whats Spindley been up to, after all Ian B owns the Yorkshire Ploughing Championship after his off at Pembury in 99, you Yorkshire boys like to experiment 'off road'!!!! (I should say people rather than boys as I'm married to a Yorhshire woman who had trouble keeping 'her' Griffith 500 on the black stuff at times!)

Cough: its the red Tuscan.....

No damage, no more than grass cutting.

Hope you all had a successful day at Harewood, we spent most of yesterday stuck on a Czech train. The M sounds great fun, I remember TA hillclimbing it in the mid 1980s. Would be great with a turbo engine in...
