1977 TVR 3000M

The TVR M Series is a series were built by between 1972 and 1979. The series replaced the outgoing TVR Vixen and Tuscan models, and is characterized by a common chassis and shared body style. As with other TVR models before and since, the M Series use a front mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout and body-on-frame construction. The era of the M Series is commonly associated with Martin Lilley who, together with his father, took ownership of the company on November 30, 1965. The M Series was regarded by contemporary reviewers as being loud and fast and having excellent road holding.

As a higher-performance alternative to the 1600M and 2500M, TVR debuted the 3000M at the October 1972 Earl's Court Motor Show. It uses the 3.0 L Ford Essex V6. Just 654 naturally aspirated 3000Ms were built.

This TVR 3000M competition car is offered for sale having spent the past 7 years in dehumidified storage. Since being removed from storage the cars has benefit from a professional re-commissioning by Richard Thorne Classic Cars and as such will be presented for sale with a fresh MoT.

Fitted with a tuned race engine and lowered adjustable springs and dampers the car was built for the HSCC 70's Roadsports Championships which gives access to wonderful race meetings such as Brands Superprix and Oulton Park Gold Cup and many more. This car would still be eligible and highly competitive in the series today.

A great opportunity to acquire an affordable and potentially competitive car. Having spoken to RTCC they would happily prepare and support the car with there many years heavily involved in historic racecar presentation.
