Description:
1985 TVR 350i rebuilt and modified in 2003 by Roush Technologies (the Nascar Racing team). Driving this one of a kind TVR will put a huge smile on your face, the noise is exceptional!
This car won 1st in class F of the 2017 SMRC Classics at Knockhill.
The engine is a 3.5L Rover V8 rebuilt by Roush with new bearings, a high torque cam, duplex timing gear, stripped down and rebuilt heads, an oil cooler and a custom stainless steel exhaust. The engine has only done 20K miles since being rebuilt.
The body sits on a race prepared chassis, fitted with a fully rose jointed suspension and uprated, adjustable anti-roll bars built by Moore Racing. It has fully adjustable Nitron springs and dampers, fully adjustable wishbones and the rear trailing arm suspension has been replaced by an A-frame for better balance and traction.
The brakes are uprated 4-pot calipers with vented discs and Mintex race compound pads. The Interior has been stripped out and replaced with Sparco seats and harnesses and a 6 point roll cage.
It has 2 sets of wheels and tyres: lightweight, Compomotive wheel set (15" at the front, 16" at the rear) with soft compound Toyo R888 tyres for track use and a 16'' Mercedes wheel set with Yocohama Advans for road use.
The car has been kept road legal and has 3 months MOT left but is also fully race eligble with plumbed in fire extinguisher system, battery master cut-offs, tow hooks etc.
Only weak part of the car is the original 1985 body which has some stone chips from racing and paint fade, however as you can see from the pictures the red still brightens up nicely when polished. Underneath she is a properly sorted race car with very predictable handling and the engine is very strong and reliable.
I have a ring binder packed full of all the receipts, invoices and history of this car passed down from owner to owner.
