TVR S3C 2.9 V6 1992 SOLD

For sale is my 1992 TVR S3C 2. 9l in Ruby Mica Red.
Mileage: 89000
Next MOT: 29 March 2018 (passed with no advisories)

I have owned this car since February 2014, and am now looking to sell it to make way for a new project car. A lot of work has been done over and above routine maintenance, which can be seen listed below.

Please note, this car was written off as a CAT C in August 2011 and subsequently repaired. I have a current RAC Vehicle Check confirming this and I am happy to forward this on to any interested parties. No structural damage etc was done, but a new front clip was required to make the repair which was unfortunately sufficient to write the car off. This was at the beginning of the previous owner’s tenure with the car. He then kept the car following its repair for roughly 2. 5 years before moving on to a TVR Chimaera and I have happily owned it for roughly 3. 5 years. Any inspection is welcome.

All work on the car, including routine maintenance, had been carried out by me (with all receipts kept), or by Bespoke Performance in Hertfordshire. The interior has been refurbished recently and is in excellent condition. The engine & gearbox are both very healthy. The bodywork/ paint is good but not show quality. I have a whole folder of past receipts etc for previous work done on the vehicle.

The chassis is original, with no welding carried out on it as far as I am aware. Areas of the chassis where the original powder coat has flaked have been treated and painted with POR15. I have not gone down the route of using underseal etc as I prefer to be able to clearly see if there are any areas of concern. The most common problem areas (outriggers and rear suspension mounts) are solid. Again, any inspection of the chassis is welcome, and I am happy to jack the car up to help with this.

The car has undergone numerous refurbishment/ upgrade works, as may be seen:

Interior
-New black carpets with cream piping.
-All cream leather/ vinyl resprayed.
-Driver’s seat professionally re-foamed, new webs fitted and leather facings replaced.
-Custom alloy gear knob fitted.
-Alloy roof stays fitted.
-New Focal component speakers fitted with 2-channel amp, headunit and custom tweeter mounts.
-Seat belt spacers fitted to allow belt retraction.
-Fire extinguisher mounted

Brakes
-Stainless braided flexi-pipes fitted front and rear.
-Rear drums converted to disc and caliper setup.
-Front brakes upgraded to Ford Fiesta ST150 calipers & discs.
-Front discs and pads EBC, rear Mintex.
-New brake booster fitted.
-Master cylinder professionally refurbished.
-Brake fluid changed to 5. 1

Suspension
-Gaz Gold coilovers fitted all round.
-Polybushes fitted all round.
-Rose-jointed droplinks fitted to anti-roll bar.
-Rear trailing arms treated with POR15 chassis paint and overlaid with stonechip as very vulnerable to paint damage and associated rusting.

Engine:
-Re-cored radiator.
-Stainless steel swirlpot.
-ACT Silicon coolant hose kit.
-ACT stainless steel exhaust (exhaust assumed to be ACT despite no identifying marks as it is the same design and construction).
-Straight cut throttle plate.

Other
-Stainless steel polished headlamp rings.
-Philips night breaker headlamps.
-4 Dunlop BlueResponse tyres with less than 3000 miles on.
-META M36T2 Thatcham Cat 2 Immobiliser fitted.
-Levin leather half-cover included in sale.
-Wheels professionally refurbished, powder coated and painted in shadow chrome finish.

In all, I believe this to be a lovely example of a TVR S Series, with many small upgrades made. I believe the price reflects this, though taking into account the CAT C status. Please feel free to get into contact if you require any further information or pictures etc.
