1978 TVR Taimar Project Car
Posted: 2 August 2026Serial #:
Price: $5,500
Location: Ruffs Dale, PA
Contact Info: Bill Cooper
Description:
1978 TVR Taimar, located in Western PA near New Stanton close to the junction of I-70 and the PA Turnpike. Comes with clear Pennsylvania antique title in my name. Note that the photo of the green car on its wheels was taken early in my ownership before the car was totally disassembled. I have owned it since 2017 and have accomplished a massive amount of work, but I realize that I must prioritize my projects and this one didn't make the cut. There are other cars that I want to finish more than this one. For context, please understand that the RHD and LHD cowl panels are totally different, unlike the earlier M-Series cars where the only difference side-to-side is the position of the penetrations. For this car I fabricated bespoke tooling and made the custom panels, which are now completely installed.
Work completed:
- Bodyshell completely stripped of paint and soda blasted (and passivated after). All body damage properly repaired, stress cracks repaired and strengthened, and sunroof-delete panel properly installed. There is still some exterior fiberglass work to be completed and I am including a recently obtained rear body cutoff. The bare shell sits on a rolling dolly.
- Bonnet repaired and strengthened and a new bonnet subframe is included and ready to attach.
- Door hinges rebuilt with stainless pins and bronze bushings
- A steel firewall brace from a Federal spec M was adapted and incorporates mountings for the steering column and wiper motor, and will help support the door hinges.
- Chassis restored with new outriggers and front outrigger supports, blasted, epoxy primed and painted with black catalyzed enamel and ready to assemble.
- Salisbury 4HU diff, 3.31:1 New halfshaft seals and pinion seal, ready to install
- Rear uprights re-bushed and new lower pivot shafts. Full vehicle set of graphite impregnated poly bushings included.
- Rear halfshafts and hubs disassembled, Mag Particle Inspected and all new bearings and hardware obtained. Ready to be reassembled.
- All glass for doors, front and rear screens Including screen seals from Andrew Gray;
- Original carpets suitable for patterns;
- side window frames;
- Door cards and inner/outer door handles/hardware;
- New brake master & rear wheel cylinders, front calipers, rotors, rear drums;
- Spax coilovers (low mileage used);
- Fresh 3.0 Essex motor with rebuildable 38DGAS Carb;
- New Bosch alternator, permanent magnet starter, hall effect distributor, new water and fuel pumps; Aftermarket 20 circuit wiring harness , all new aftermarket (Carbuilder solutions) rocker switches, detailed wiring schematic;
- LHD steering rack with new column u-joints and rack mounts;
- 4 speed manual gearbox with bellhousing, flywheel, clutch, driveshaft (as removed);
- 15' x 6" Compomotive wheels with lugs and TVR centers; new headlamps and front park/turn lamps;

My extensive file of receipts, notes, diagrams and build information will go with the car.

1970 TVR Tuscan (wide-body) - the ultimate collectible TVR
Posted: 8 July 2026Serial #: MAL019
Price: Call to discuss, open to offers
Location: Florida
Contact Info: Guy Dirkin - (708) 254-9101
Description:
The rarest factory production TVRs were the seven Tuscan "wide-body" cars built in 1970. These cars were the prototypes in body styling of the successful M-series TVR's of the 1970's. They are arguably the "holy grail" of TVR collector cars. The TVR in my collection is co-owned with Paul Guinn, who meticulously restored our TVR Tuscan, chassis number MAL 019. All TVR Tuscan wide-body cars were powered by a Ford 302 cu.in. / 5-liter engine, with a two-barrel carburetor. The wide-body Tuscan SE, in the factory sales brochure, specified a Ford Boss 302 cu.in. This engine was developed by Ford for 1969-1970 for the Mustang to compete in the SCCA Trans-Am racing series, a response to the successful Camaro Z/28. The engine in our car, MAL 019, has an ex-Holman Moody Trans Am race series engine. Holman Moody developed engines for Fords successful wins at the Le Mans 24 Hour race. MAL 019 is fully documented, with extreme rarity for the car in general, and its power unit. A collector's dream, or a winning big-bore vintage race car.

1978 TVR Bonnet
Posted: 1 March 2026Price: Offer
Location: Milwaukee, WI
Contact Info: Mike Budde (414) 254-7248
Description:
"M" series bonnet. Bonnet popped which caused the damage. Has cracks, scrapes and minor tears in glass. Bonnet frame did not survive and is gone. I'm sure it can be fixed by someone that has fiberglass experience. Perfect for a race car or a car really needing one. A replacement bonnet frame is available from 'Grays' in the UK. I really don't know what it's worth, but, it would be tough to find one in the 'states' in any condition. I have a few more pictures if you wnat to see them.
