Comments from the seller

FOR SALE a 1987 TVR 280S, a 2-door convertible with hard roof panels that can be removed and stored in the boot. The body is fibreglass with a 2.8 litre V6 Ford motor. This car was imported from UK around 2013. If you want something a bit different with not many of these on Australian roads, then this might be of interest to you. The car is on club permit plates and will be sold with no registration. The sale will include a RWC which I will get once a deposit has been paid.
