The car in question is for sale for $23.9k at
wirewheel.com. If only I had the $$$!

http://www.wirewheel.com/Cars/Auto_Generated_Pages/1022120834.shtml

It's listed as a Vixen 2500, though I'm not sure there
was such a thing. The body looks a little too
"compressed" to be a 2500M.

I've always loved TVR's, and honestly a 2500M was my
first preference when searching for my LBC. However,
good ones that the owners are willing to part with are
few and far between.

My TVR story: A friend has a new-ish (1997?) TVR
Griffith in London that I had the pleasure of driving.
Now that car, on an eternally damp British country
road, was scary fast! (and the build quality leaves no
questions as to the origin of the car...there were
some push button switches on the dash that were
mounted from behind, glued with contact cement to the
back of the dash. Push the switch a little too hard a
few times and the switch would tumble off into the
blackness!)
