Mr. Mike Budde of Milwaukee, WI, owns a 1979 TVR 3000M. He was clearly caught by an irresistible desire: be the only one in the world to own a TVR 3000M Roadster. So the British coupé was converted into a convertible model. Further he replaced the original Ford Capri 3.0 litre V6 engine (138 hp) with a brutal Ford V8 Type 302.
So suddenly the TVR Chimaera could have her predecessor.

Looks more like a 3000S with a 302 conversion not a 3000M with the top cut off. If so certainly not a "one of" creation, but still a very nice car.
ReplyDeletevery nice car for its sort, and that V8 looks lovely and fits very well, like it always was like this.
