Introduced at the October 1972 Earls Court Motor Show, TVR’s flagship 3000M model was powered by a Ford 3-litre V6 allied to four-speed manual transmission. Acclaimed by the contemporary press for its performance and handling, the two-seater tempted 654 buyers away from more mainstream choices (such as the Triumph TR6 or Jaguar E-Type).

Quite possibly the nicest TVR 3000M we will ever encounter, ‘XBD 973S’ is an object lesson in the perils of liking things to be ‘just so’. Drawing upon the expertise of three Colchester-based firms, the vendor spent seven years and £46,235.75 having the two-seater restored to his satisfaction. G. Clarke & Son refurbished the fibreglass bodywork and painted it not once but twice (the second occasion after the installation of re-engineered door hinges etc). Python Racing not only overhauled the Essex 3-Litre V6 (including conversion to triple Weber carburettors) but also fettled the differential, steering, brakes, suspension and alloy wheels as well as undertaking the reassembly. SF Car Trim crafted a bespoke Black Nappa leather and Alcantara interior. Almost as clean underneath as it is on top, you can tell that ‘XBD 973S’ was a real labour of love. Worthy of close inspection, this exceptional TVR is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, full-sized spare wheel rim and restoration documentation.
