TVR ES from 1987

[mannik]

Anyone have any details/photos on the 1987 TVR ES (fitted with 3.2l V6 Swaymar engine)?

Would be grateful if you could send anything via PM or discuss here

Anyone know where the engine from this car is or even where the car is?

A bit of info here says it never got beyond the prototype stage

Yes the car was a one off prototype shown at the 1987 Earls Court Motorfair (dark green with creme hide) and had a 3.2l V6 developing around 240hp.
Peter Wheeler had decided to give the S more power and was looking at different engines at the time (also a 3.8l V6 Holden motor from GM)

I am looking for any pictures, engine, exterior etc that may be available since I am attempting to write a guide to the V8S and this was perhaps the car that started it all.

The car was at Curborough a couple of years ago, brought along by one of the spectators. It looked as if it needed quite a lot of work but it was good to see a unique part of TVR history still on the road and being looked after.
