This beautiful 1973 TVR 2500M for sale on BAT

Too bad it isn’t RHD, but some reason these older ones are much easier found LHD. *shrugs* But I would totally DD the hell out of this car.

UPDATE: The radio needs to be changed

To something like a nice vintage Blaupunkt

There would be an epidemic of wrecks from car guys doing double-takes. Thinking at first it was an MG or a Datsun out of the corner of their eye, and then the “Wait, what?”.

It will be even better when I import a RHD one from the UK after going on a rally. I wonder how people will respond to the Chimae ra driving down the road.

I don’t know anything of TVR history but I would assume it is easier to find LHD models since they would have been sold here new? Or they are just from a time when cars were simpler and a LHD conversion wasn’t too daunting of a task if you wanted.

Ooh.. that’s local. Want me to go inspect it for you?

I mean if you want to. I don’t have enough funds to win a bidding war, so I doubt I would be able to buy it. But if you want you can. 10/10 would agree it’s likely you won’t get to again.

I think it is more the LHD ones are places people sell them more. Seems a lot the the RHD people (Brits) hold onto them or just store them forever.

Wh o knows?

What would you guess the value of it is?

To be honest this one isn’t particularly special. I wouldn’t be too suprised if it stayed below $9k. Though others sell for up to $20k+ at least on BAT. So kind of a crap shoot

Kinja'd!!!

That’s a pretty neat car. For less than a new Civic you could have one of (if not the) coolest cars in the parking lot.

Sidejob I was working on. 76 TVR. One of my many Datsun 510's in the background. My son as a toddler-now mid 30's.
