A one owner, 37year-old TVR, in excellent condition and looking fabulous.
The TVR 'M' series were produced between 1972 and 1979 replacing the outgoing Vixen and Tuscan models and all are characterized by a common chassis and shared body style.
As with all TVR models, before and since, the M Series use a front mid-engine, rear-wheel drive and GRP body-on-frame construction.
This particular part of the TVR story, encompassing the 'M' Series' time in the limelight, is commonly associated with Martin Lilley who, together with his father, took over ownership of the company in late 1965.
The 'M' Series cars were regarded by contemporary reviewers as true TVRs with great performance and handling and all the charming idiosyncrasies of a traditional 'Trevor'.They retained styling cues going right back to the early Grantura, but with every development they became more 'civilised'.
The range comprised the 1600M, 2500M, 3000M, 3000S, the Taimar and some later Turbo cars.
