Lot 35
 

1992 TVR V8S
***NO RESERVE*** A sought-after model, with under 900 miles covered in the past 18 years.

Registration - J779 PCW

Chassis No. - SDLDSN4P3NL011629

M.O.T. - May 2025

Odometer - 48,322

The TVR V8S is an increasingly sought-after model from the British manufacturer’s portfolio, and this example is presented in a beautiful and subtle pale blue with navy leather interior. Offered at no reserve, ‘J779 PCW’ is powered by a Rover-sourced 4.0-litre V8, and features a five-speed manual gearbox, putting its power to the rear wheels. The convertible features chrome detailing and eight-spoke alloys outside, while the interior sees walnut used for the dashboard and centre console, mohair-lined roof, and factory fitted electric windows.

With just five previous owners, ‘J779 PCW’ has been fitted with a new water pump, drive belt, distributor/leads, and fuel pump; it has also been under-sealed. Showing an indicated 48,000 miles on the odometer - and with MOT records showing that the car has covered less than 900 miles in the past 18years - the V8S is described by the vendor as in ‘average’ condition in terms of the bodywork, paint, and interior. The electrics are rated as ‘good’, while the engine and transmission are considered ‘excellent’.

  • Offered at NO RESERVE
  • Powered by Rover’s famous 4.0-litre V8
  • Relatively low mileage example, little used in the past 18 years

TVR’s S Series launched in 1986, but it wasn’t until 1991 that the V8S was introduced. The 4.0-litre V8 was fettled, boosting power to 240hp, allowing for a sub-five second 0-60mph time. Production continued until 1994, with a little over 400 units made, by which time TVR was getting the Griffin up to speed, and had introduced the Chimera in 1992.
