TVR S1 OR S2

[tillo]

Hi Guys,

I am new i the TVR scene bought this a week ago could you tell me is it a s1 or s2 as im not sure it has the 2.8 engine

[keirangrogan]

If it has the 2.8 engine it is an S1, however, your car has the overriders on the bumpers, which are S2.

You probably have what is generally refered to as an S1.5.

I.e it has all of the nice new developments of the S2 such as overriders, Electric windows etc put TVR still had a number of 2.8 engines to fit.

No i bought the car from a guy in wakefield it was running crap when i got it cutting out when hot,My mate gave it a service last week and tune so seem ok now,But need to get the wheels aligned now does not feel right but there agian it might just be me. It has had a respray at sometime,But i only bought it for the weekend use.Also need to taga tops recovered at some point

The steering might be the UJ's - one is right behind the front wheel so it suffers with all the muck that gets thrown at it.
Cheap replacements are available - check out the useful links at the to of this forum.

I thought mine is an S1.5, that is it has a 2.9 engine but no chrome bits on the bumpers, no elec windows, has the slot alloys from S1 etc. That's TVR for you.

I thought mine was an S1.5 - S1 alloys, 2.9 engine, no chromey bits and the older style dash.

I guess the crossover cars were a bit of a chimaera.

Oh wait, that's something completely different..

[mycroft]

[TVRMadPaul]

Nice looking S.

Like the look of the wing mirrors. Is there a close up picture of these you can post ? Did you fit them yourself if so what car did they come off ?

Cheers

Same here

Looks like an S1 with a few mods to me.

The "S1.5" is an S1 with a 2.9 engine (when the 2.8 supply ran out, before the S2 spec was finalised). AFAIK these are mostly early G-reg cars.
