Trevor's car.

Travels Very Rapidly.

It is a crying shame the company was bought by someone who had no idea how to run a business, and it went down the plug hole.

Thanks for the GRM info. Yes, it's a '74 2500M. Owned for a very long time by a TVR enthusiast in Indy/Carmel. Disassembled and painted, also a long time ago, and then it sat until now. Some assembly required. Not sure yet how far I'll go with this one, but leaning toward stock, with various known improvements - once I learn more about what those are :)

2500M?  Are you going to leave it stock or will it get upgraded?

There's a few TVR build threads on GRM, one with a modern driveline and the others with stock set ups.

I'm afraid I seem to be going the wrong direction on the automotive evolutionary scale, but it was too good a deal to pass up. Came complete with the proverbial "Engine in a Box" 

What have I done? :confused:

No....  :FUNNY:
Sorry - the rear coil overs are not as yet attached to the rear uprights and the drive shafts are temporarily suspended from large cable ties. 
I have some fine tuning to do in this area and wanted to keep everything as accessible as possible.
Hope this answers your query and that I have not miss understood.
The lower radius arms are of course "home modified" - they are adjustable in length to aid camber adjustment - when I get to that stage .....  :)) :))

Good luck!
Very interesting connection for the rear lower link. Is that for a custom sway bar?

Good morning,
The car that followed on the assembly line was delivered to France.
The original plates are different

Hello Europa TC,
That's interesting. The top plate is engraved rather than stamped, which is the same as my '68 Elan whereas my '72 Europa plate is stamped. Neither state the model name, just the "Type" identification number.
We see a similar plate on number 30

My guess from those two plates is that the top one is the original Lotus plate and the lower one added by the importing dealership ?

  Interesting that the lower plate says "EUROPE" rather than Europa, does that car have the rare "EUROPE" badge on it ?

She does not have a Europe Badge  :confused:

On the negative, the brake and clutch pedals look like being a swine to get out...

One you have disconnected the clutch cable and the brake bar to the M/C, the only thing holding the pedals in place are 4 x 1/4"UNF nuts under the body. You will probably have to loosen all 4 and tap with a hammer as the plate on the inside tends to stick to the bodyshell.

I have been away from the TCS for some time - life in general - you all know how it is.  :confused: As some of you will remember I have previously posted details on many of the journeys on this rebuild.
Thought I'd post an update - early in the month I decided I just had to get back into it and that the best thing I could do was to start the engine and sort out any gremlins before I proceeded further, (if at all tbh).
Photo's show what I set up temporarily regarding cooling, fuel, electrics plus oil control panel - yes I know - some of it is in wood - but it works....  :))
I will post later with an update on how it all went - along with questions on some of the new (but minor) challenges I now have.
