1978 TVR

The TVR M Series is a series of sports cars built by automaker TVR between 1972 and 1979. The series replaced the outgoing TVR Vixen and Tuscan models, and is characterized by a common chassis and shared body style. As with other TVR models before and since, the M Series cars use a front mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout and body-on-frame construction. The bodies themselves were built from glass-reinforced plastic (GRP). The era of the M Series is commonly associated with Martin Lilley who, together with his father, took ownership of the company on November 30, 1965.
The M Series was regarded by contemporary reviewers as being loud and fast and having excellent roadholding. This came at the expense of unusual ergonomics, and heating and ventilation systems that were sometimes problematic.
This TVR 3000 M has been restored and prepared to enter Group S racing, or otherwise track days and spirited road driving. Well prepared, this car is basically ready to go. If you want to run at the front of Group S, simply go to Ric Wood automotive in the UK and buy an off the shelf performance Essex V6 putting out close to 300hp for about $15k. Bargain race car for someone ready to get into motorsport, with a trailer full of spares from the restoration including a spare motor and set of wheels.
