A678 MFD (2)
1984 TVR Tasmin convertible.
Anglia Car Auctions, King's Lynn -
"Chassis number: DH5656F1. This stylish and distinctive TVR Tasmin started life as a 2792cc car, but now has a 2.9-litre engine (believed to be from a Cosworth unit from a Ford Scorpio) installed. It was registered in March 1984 and has an MoT until June 2023. The odometer shows 1028 miles. Reference to the history file (well-organised in a bound black leather folder) shows the seats were recovered in 2008 and a black mohair hood and Targa section was installed in 2010. There are a great many other general bills stretching back across the car's life, along with old tax discs and a selection of MoT certificates back to March 1987, when the mileage was recorded as 48,246 miles. It looks as if the TVR crossed the 100,000-mile barrier around 1991/1992, although this was presumably quite a while before its new engine was installed."
Estimate: £6500 to £8500. Sold for £6804 including premium.
