Description:

This TVR Vixen 2500 has been in our family since about 1976, and before we owned it a more distant family member owned it after having bought it new in San Francisco, CA. From 1976 onward this car was always garaged and used very sparingly. It's now being offered for sale for the first time in all those years. Here is a great opportunity to purchase an extremely rare car in excellent condition, with no stories or history of any damage or rust, and with a highly desirable engine/transmission setup. We've done all the work for you.In 1996 she was still wearing her original butterscotch color paint. While still in good condition we wanted to modernize her looks so it was repainted in actual yellow, which from our recollection was a GM color called Canary from the 70's/80's used on Corvettes.While being an interesting car to drive with excellent handling characteristics, we always felt that this TVR with the original Triumph 2500 engine and 4 speed transmission was not living up to its potential. TVR only used the 2500 engine as a compromise for the U.S. market because it was emissions compliant, yet this also meant that its horsepower output suffered, and in various driving conditions this engine in a TVR was known to overheat far too often. The 2500 is an enormously large and heavy cast iron lump, and with twin Stromberg carburetors it only generated about 106 bhp in the U.S. market, with driving potential further limited by only a 4 speed gearbox.....
