We are delighted to be able to offer this stunning TVR 290S for sale.

Rarely available, let alone with the exemplary service history and low ownership this example benefits from.

Supplied new by Monza Sport, the car remained with the first owner for over 25 years who had the car regularly serviced and MoT'd and although sparingly used and the very low mileage, it was clearly enjoyed enough to keep everything working correctly. The history supplied with the car is continuous, bar a few missing MoT certificates, and it can be assumed that the mileage is genuine at just under 40K from new.

Finished in dark blue with beige leather trim, this TVR is a stunning looking example emphasised by the overall condition. The paint finish is excellent as is the interior condition, there really is very little to comment upon other than it must be one of, if not the best available. 

The vehicle has rarely seen the rain and as a result, the chassis is excellent with regular entries in the service history for rustproofing top ups as required - clearly no expense has been spared. 

Sounding superb, the car is a delight to drive with strong performance from the Ford sourced 2.9 litre engine, stopping power is impressive.

Cars of this quality do not come up for sale often and we don't expect this lovely car to be here long.

For sale on behalf of our customer so sold without warranty.

Available for viewing in our dry, well lit sales barn, by appointment please.

Bodywork

Virtually unmarked, presents as a much younger vehicle.

Mechanical

The diligence in maintaining the car from new is evident through studying the history with the car, there is a long period where the car was serviced by the same garage where a no expense spared policy seems to have been employed.

The car performed faultlessly on test, is an easy starter hold or cold, and provides an exhilarating experience with bags of torque, nimble handling and very good brakes. We've carried out a few jobs on the car in recent months including the fitment of a stainless steel exhaust - it sounds great!

Exterior

Simply lovely, the evolution of the original Tuscan, Griffith and then Taimar shape made for a very handsome looking car and the colour combination makes this car really standout together with the colour coded roof and lift out panel.

Interior

As you'd expect, there's a healthy array of gauges presented in a beautiful wood veneer dashboard, sumptuous leather seating and full carpeting all of which is in fine condition.

 

Apart from our accurate and reliable description of this car we believe you will not find a better bunch of chaps to deal with; we know our MGs inside out, we won’t flannel you with sales speak and we aim to provide you with a car that you will be bringing back in a year’s time when the next service and MOT is due, no sooner! However, if you do have a problem we will stand by our car and help you in every way possible. We like to think that 38 years in this business counts for something.

 We are in the quiet Berkshire countryside but close to the M4 and Mortimer Railway Station. Our local pub, the Elm Tree is just a few minutes’ walk away and serves fantastic food and proper beers. Call us to arrange a viewing and a test-drive and come and make a day of it.
