TVR 3000M 3000ML

The 3000ML was the luxury version of TVR's 3000M, built for just one year across 1973 and 1974. It added a walnut veneer dashboard, leather trim, Wilton carpets, electric windows, a sunroof and different high-backed seats, along with extra soundproofing. The page suggests only about five survive on the road, one of them a race car and two overseas.

This car was fully restored and finished in August 2015, then won Best Restoration at the Pre-80s event. The work included a new shot-blasted, zinc-primed and powder-coated chassis, replacement suspension arms with new bushes, and reconditioned differential and gearbox. The engine was rebuilt with a Kent 234 fast road cam and a fully balanced short motor. A four-page itemised list records the restoration, with over £14,000 spent on parts alone.

It shows 52,958 miles, of which a little over 9,000 have been added since the rebuild, including two trips to the Spa Classic. The most recent owner fitted chrome bumpers. A hard top is included.
