Did you actually race your TVR or is it just set up for it? >>
I've raced it since the early 80s (there is a picture of it at Laguna Seca in
1983 on my wall beside me), after completely stripping it (ie, cutting glass
body off tube frame) and rebuilding it for racing. I managed to find all the
neat, rare bits for it - original (and therefor legal ) HRG Derrington head,
with factory TVR manifolds and Webers (I've never even SEEN another pair of
these manifolds, except on pictures of the Le mans cars), the optional
American Racing magnesium wheels, CR OD trans, suspension uprated to 6 shock
Griffith spec, all the neat stuff.
The only problem is that I don't even seem to get my Twincam out on the track
as often as I'd like, and I just don't have the time to run 2 vintage race
cars the way I used to, so I thought I'd sell it to someone that could use it
a bit more.
It has run at Monterey, Portland, Seattle etc. It's a Mark 3 car (one of 90
built). If you know anyone interested in something a bit unusual that is
ready to race, let me know. The asking price is $20,000, which looking at
the ads in a race entry I just got from the Eastern States, looks almost low
compared to the slower, much more common stuff on offer there.
It's also registered as a variant with Namgar, which I guess makes it an
honorary MGA.
