Dear all;
I realize this is sort of like preaching to the choir, but I thought I'd
send out a note that I have located a TVR 2500 that appears to be for sale.
Its a rough but pretty complete car that has been languishing at a repair
shop in Doylestown, PA. The owners had some brake work done, paid for that
work, but never picked up the car. I understand that they want to sell it,
but have actually done nothing specifically to get that taken care of.
Consequently, the car has sat out in the elements for 2 years (!) by the
side of the repair garage (a foreign car garage). I mention this just in
case someone on the list knows someone, etc. etc... who is lusting after a
2500, and then perhaps this car can be rescued and returned to the road. I
saw the thing last saturday. Its a rough car. Yellow with black, and the
sunroof is in sad shape. Interior isn't bad, but it isn't good either.
Paint badly damaged from sun/weather. Turbin-style wheels. Appears to
have Smiths gauges (does that make it a late 2500? My 71 has "AC" gauges).
While it may be driveable, strictly speaking, after some renovations, I
suggest that its best viewed as a project car. The rub here is that I've
heard the owners are asking in the 5500$ range. Seems steep to me. My
friend and I agreed that it looked like a good 3500$ car. I haven't
actually spoken to either the repair shop owners or to the car owners, but
friends of friends assure me that what I report here is basically accurate.
If anyone wants final details on this car I can probably at least provide
you with a phone number to call. If you are interested, post back to me
and I'll see what I can do.
Consider this poor car! Neglected! Abandoned! It deserves a good home!
later,
Will Zehring
