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.
