Howdy, William.
Wasn't the 2500M first introduced in '72? Are you certain that your car is
really a '71?
Is it TR6 powered? It would be, if it is a 2500M.
On the other hand, if it is Ford Kent powered, then maybe it is a Vixen?
Anyway, assuming that you have web access, there are all sorts of great TVR
resoures available to you, if you are willing to poke around a bit.

There are links off of these pages, that should lead you to most of the TVR
bits around the net.
