1976 Tvr 1600m SOLD


Only 148 of these were ever produced, and they are much harder to find than the troublesome 3. 0 vision.

1. 6 ford xflow

High compression

fast road high profile cam.
New electronic ignition and distributor

New front braided brake hoses.
Very good second hand 3000m shocks/ springs all round.
Four branch manifold, Custom made exhaust with sports silencers.
Good solid chassis.
Body shell was originally red but was changed to white many years ago..
Paintwork will require work to make perfect, it has blisters appearing and some surface crazing as most fibreglass cars, but is perfectly usable as it is.
I was considering changing it back to the factory red.
The front end has been altered to make removing easier.
One off custom TVR graphics
Original T slot alloys (five) with excellent tyres
Alloys would bennifit from being refurbished to make mint.
Spacesaver spare wheel relocated in the rear of the car with a custom one off cover.
The interior still looks good, yes it has wear, good carpets and dash, black headlining. Low back leather look sports seats.
Fold back sunroof works perfectly
Looks like the windscreen and rear screen rubbers have been replaced at some point
Ign barrel / key has been moved from a knee bruising middle of the steering column to the centre of the dash, incorporating a push button start.

It starts and runs but
The twin 40's will need setting up on a rolling road.

It is tax and mot exempt but I have put it through the test.
Car is in Manchester

Numerous spares that come with the car

New front discs and pads
original twin choke carburettor, original push type starter solenoid
New water pump
New side exit distributor caps x3
new rear driveshafts uj, rear differential
Smiths instruments full cluster as from the Dolomite
Original 1600m coil springs.

I DON'T need to sell the car however an ever increasing house refurbishment would benefit from the sale
Having said that I'm NOT giving it away.
These cars are very rare and going up in value.
