About this car

The 3000M was TVR's 1970s staple: a lightweight fibreglass-bodied two-seater with a front-mounted Ford Essex V6 driving the rear wheels through a manual gearbox. It is a simple, compact and noisy formula, and one that has become increasingly collectable.

This 1977 car, finished in white, shows 66,343 miles. The dealer says it spent 35 years with a single owner, though the page also lists nine previous owners in total.

It has been recommissioned with a long list of recent mechanical work. That includes new brake calipers, discs, pads, servo and master cylinder, a refurbished radiator, new fuel hoses, alternator, water pump, gearbox mount, CV joints, propshaft universal joints, trunnions, distributor and exhaust manifold gaskets.

TVR's own published power, weight and performance figures for 1977 couldn't be confirmed, and quoted numbers vary (e.g. 138 vs 142 bhp, period magazine road tests), so these are left null.).
