More about this car

***Manual Transmission!!! (FB is not letting me select the transmission type)

This is an absolutely spectacular example of a TVR 2500M that is beautiful cosmetically and exciting to drive. It really is about as nice as it gets for one of these. This car underwent a recent multi-year, highly detailed, frame-off cosmetic and mechanical restoration that was thoroughly documented. The paint and body work was professionally done. The restoration was completed a couple years ago so it is very fresh. This is about as close as it gets as to being a “new” 2500M and about as nice as it gets for an OEM+ higher performance but yet very original street car.

I am a car nut and huge TVR fan. I have had a few of them and had imported two from the UK (400SE and Griffith 500). TVRs are very special vehicles for numerous reasons, a couple of them being they offer an incredible value in the specialty car world, exclusive due to the tiny production numbers (200 per year worldwide for the 2500M), they tend to be very light (this one is 2,200 lbs), punch above their weight class in terms of performance, are beautiful, and are an absolute blast to drive. The 2500M has a tube frame chassis, fully independent front and rear suspension, rack and pinion steering, and tubular double wishbone control arms. These are some special specs for a car of this vintage and for a reasonably priced specialty car.

The finish and bodywork on this 2500M is absolutely impressive. It was done professionally and to a very high standard. It is nicer than what would be expected for a TVR. To preface this a bit, my father was an automotive painter for 40 years and he and I restored a couple cars together which has caused me to have a detailed eye for paint and body work. The remainder of the exterior is excellent such as the chrome bumpers, glass, and new vinyl top. The body was removed from the frame, the frame was blasted, a couple very minor areas repaired on it, and repainted. All of the hardware, bushings, etc. have been replaced. The underbody is super clean and absolutely impressive. This is a proper thorough frame off restoration.

The interior is excellent and much of it is new as well. The carpeting kit is custom and high quality. The seats have been fully rebuilt with new foam and vinyl. The seats themselves are very comfortable and make the ride so much more enjoyable. The remainder of the interior is excellent and matches in quality to the exterior.

The engine bay on this car is spectacular. Again… the restoration was done to a high standard so the firewall, weatherstripping, fender wells, etc. all were done properly and with attention to detail. The engine itself looks like it has jewelry on it with the Italian triple Weber 40 DCOEs, upgraded linkage bits, ceramic coated header, and upgraded rocker cover. Every mechanical system has been gone through on this TVR. The engine has been rebuilt and upgraded with higher compression, a sportier cam, etc. This engine no longer feels like it came from a Triumph TR6! It revs out so nice and has some of the best induction sound you might ever hear (make sure to listen to the driving video). The trans is a rebuilt TR6 close ratio four speed unit which is a really nice upgrade. The differential, halfshafts, etc. are all great. The engine runs excellent and holds a proper temperature. One thing to potentially resolve is the tachometer has been intermittent. It has been rebuilt to work with an electronic ignition but again has been a little temperamental. The exhaust on this car sounds absolutely lovely. The steering feel and handling is excellent. The car can be driving very spiritedly and is so visceral and raw on the backroads. Acceleration feels plenty brisk enough. I recently had the car out with a Lotus group drive (Emiras, Evoras, Elises) and the TVR kept up with the group very well. One huge benefit of the 2500M is due to using Triumph TR6 components (engine, trans, differential, half shafts, hubs, brakes, etc.) maintenance is easy and parts are plentiful.

I am throwing this up on Facebook to see if someone wants to snatch it up as a “quick sale”. My plan otherwise will be to more thoroughly detail the car, do better photography, and list it on other sites. There are not many comparable 2500Ms out there for determining value as they tend to not be as nice as this AND they tend to not also have as thorough and wonderful upgrades (ex: triple Webers, higher compression rebuilt engine with cam, rebuilt close ratio transmission, fully redone suspension with adjustable Gaz coilovers, etc.). A recent comparable 2500M with beautiful cosmetics and similar mechanical upgrades sold for $40,000 on Bring a Trailer ($42,000 after fees). That example arguably is not as nice as my blue one due to mine having the recent frame off restoration, rebuilt engine with upgrades, etc. etc. etc.

I prefer to sell outright as it would be nice to be able to park my daily driver in the garage over the winter. I could consider other interesting trades up/down +/- cash, manual transmission (ex: Aston Martin V8 Vantage, other TVR like newer Tuscan Cerbera Griffith or old Grantura, Lotus Esprit Evora Elan, 2009+ Porsche Cayman S, super mint OEM or upgraded Datsun 240Z, C1 or C2 Corvette, DeLorean, Viper, FD RX7, Ferrari, etc.).

Located in Sussex, WI 53089. I can recommend a great transportation company that has reasonable rates if needed. Pending distance, I could potentially deliver as well.
