1972 TVR 2500M

2,498cc. This very rare TVR 2500M has had just two registered keepers from new. In 1985, when the car had covered 18,000 miles, it was taken off the road by its first owner, before being purchased by the second recorded keeper in 1989. It was then placed in storage until 1991 when a full restoration commenced over an eighteen month period including a colour change from white to bright red (a BMW colour). In 1992 at the TVR event in Blackpool it won concours first prize and has participated in five Norwich Union classic car runs. The interesting story of its purchase and restoration completion, was featured by Restoring Classic Cars magazine in April 1993. Sold by ACA in April 2024 as a straight forward project but ill health has resulted in its being offered for sale again. The car has seen limited use and will require some recommissioning although it has recently been fitted with new Spax shock absorbers and replacement drop links.  

It comes complete with the original green log book, Restoring Classic Cars Magazine with article, MoTs dating from 1992 to 2008, and original manual. The mileage is recorded at 26,174
