Kevin Burtch asks:
"I was just told the Rover 3500 (SD1) taillights are the same as the TVR
(280i?)
taillights, and that they go for $400 - $500 ?????
Is there a shred of truth to any of this??"
Kevin,
>From "The TVR`s" by Graham Robson:
Page 86 has a photo of a 1980 Tasmin (became 280i in 1983) with Ford Capri
tailights.
Page 101 has two photos including a 1983 3501 with "Rover type tail lamps" and
a 1985/86 with Renault Fuego-type tail lamps. The "Rover photo" (black and
white) looks like it has five rectangular sections. From the outside to the
inside it`s grey, white, dark, light grey, and dark. You can guess at the
actual colors. BTW TVR sometines used the lamps upside down. (like my Vixen S2
with Ford Cortina MK 2 tail lamps.)
I have no idea of the value. You could check with Classic Motor Works in
Pennsylvania.
If you receive information on the engine numbers for the Buick/Rover /TR 8
engines please publish them to the net, I for one would be very interested.
Best Regards,
John
