1988 TVR 280 S1 For Sale

I am offering for sale my absolutely stunning TVR 280 S. It is in exceptional condition mechanically, electrically, underneath, and inside and out, as I enjoy keeping all my cars pristine.

I have done a 7 minute walkaround video of this car so that you can get in really close and inspect it in detail. Just let me know your mobile number and I will WhatsApp it to you. It is well worth seeing the video as it will give you a very detailed view of the entire vehicle.

This car has been fastidiously maintained and comes with a box file full of history together with its original owners manual and wallet.

For about the last 11 years, prior to my ownership, it has been owned by an absolute TVR fanatic who has lavished many thousands of pounds on it to present it as it is today. I have taken it to the next level with many hours of further detailing etc.

It drives wonderfully and sounds absolutely magnificent. It has an MOT to 1. 8. 2022.

Here are some of the works that have been completed during the last few years, in approximate time sequence:

Around 2016:

Chassis stripped and repainted and in excellent condition

Full professional respray with waterborne paint and 2k lacquer - very glossy and in overall very good condition

Brand new leather interior in Stone with blue piping including the wonderful leather dash and door cards

All new carpets and navy blue mohair hood and targa panels with new clear rear panel

This work alone cost over £5000

More recently

New stainless steel exhaust system

Brand new roll cage and harnesses, which I like but are easily removeable

Full service within the last 350 miles including:
New brake pads all round, new cooling hoses, new gaskets, plugs distributor cap, battery fuel pump, alternator, chassis again stripped and repainted and in excellent order

Lots of further detailing which will no doubt continue until the car is sold!

This car is a masterpiece of British design and engineering. TVRs of this era rarely come to the market in this sort of condition. I hope you will agree that mine is one of the best out there and again, do please request the video as it will give you a far deeper appreciation of the quality of this car.
