Need Bonnett for 2500M or Vixen

[Deleted member 3577]

My brother just found a 76 2500M with no Bonnett. Whirewheel is the only US place I know of for that sort of thing and they don't have one. Any ideas?

Rick Hall had a 3000M bonnet listed for sale in the last issue of the TVR Times, it should work. PM me if you need his email address or phone number.

I was at Wirewheel a couple months ago and I think Hayes had a couple of TVR projects with bonnets. Have you given him a call?

One of the two machinists, where I have work done, told me that a friend of his had some kind of little British car he wanted rid of. He said it was fiberglass and had a Triumph engine, but didn't know what it was. My brother and I went to take a look and it turned out to be a TVR 2500M needing a total resto.. We left and got about half way home before feeling kind of guilty about the prospects of it getting crunched. Now, for $ 250.oo he has a new project. All that is missing is the bonnett but it can't be too much more than the car was. So we are looking for a scratch and dent special.
Interestingly enough it had this item in the "boot".

I kind of doubt it was for the TVR.

That's a cool chute. The "retro" hot rod crowd eats that stuff up. Now he's got a $155 new project - nice find.
