Nice, those Mark II Cortina rear lights turn up everywhere!

Nice colour Bob, I had a MkII Cortina in that colour.

Nice job too!

Looks very nice- are you doing a Mk2 Jag as well?

[rdssdi]

The color is "Saluki Bronze" and is a Ford UK color. Apparently t was the original color.

Yes I am in the beginning stages of restoring a MK2 jaguar 3.4. The metal fab is complete. The body work paint is next.

looks great, I painted one of my old Mini's in Saluki Bronze back in the 70's. I'm not too familiar with the earlier TVR's can you fill me in on the engine/gearbox and general specification.

PS: is the handbrake mounted on the passenger side of the tunnel?

Very nice...thanks for sharing. I have had 5 Tvr over the years but never had a chance to get my hands on a 1600 Vixen. They are very rare here. Love the SWB curvy body.

It is an S2 Vixen LWB. Very early S2.

Cortina engine and trans. Tube frame chassis with independent rear suspension.

Parking brake is on passenger side.
