This TVR 2500M was the subject of a custom build by the current seller to 1967 specifications using a TR4 powerplant and a host of other creative mods. The seller primarily races the car with the Vintage Sports Car Drivers Association, but it is also street legal. The goal was to take the car vintage racing, and it has been awarded VSCDA’s ‘Era Correct’ medallion, which means it has specially approved it to race in their vintage events even though it was built from a later production car. We like what the seller did with the rear metal work and the fully custom interior. It make for a very interesting one-off racer. It is now available in Barrington, Illinois for $37,000.

The TVR factory in Blackpool never built a “2200S” model, and also never offered Triumph four cylinder engines in their later models. A significant portion of TVR production was unassembled kits. The seller built the car to follow how a privateer customer ‘in period’ might have built up a special around Triumph TR4 drivetrain components. We love the Cortina taillights on the custom rear panel.

In 2013, the car has been shown at the Geneva Concours in Illinois and raced at the Road America Fall Festival. It also did the old course reenactment and the Concours Show on the Green. The car was driven to the track at night with newly operational lights and current license/registration. The photo below shows the seller preparing the customized fiberglass body shell during the restoration. It was taken all the way down, and the customization work is impressive and well documented in the link below.

The interior shows excellent craftsmanship with all custom sheet-metal panels and a well integrated roll-cage. The car has very low and wide proportions, and that carries through to the interior and looks great.

The Triumph TR4 engine was rebuilt by the seller and features a 87mm bore and 92mm stroke, yielding a displacement of 2188cc. A slightly shaved cylinder head makes for a 9.53:1 static compression ratio. It features some good upgrades like Pertronix ignition and an Oberg UFO tattletale oil filter.
