There was a sign displayed with this one that read "This 1976 TVR 2500M is not a restoration. It has been maintained by its original owner since it was purchased new in 1977. The exterior, interior (except headliner) and engine compartment are factory original with maintenance being: replacement of rubber components, touch up paint, and normal maintenance parts (master cylinder reservoir has been replaced). Exhaust, mirrors and mud flaps were added/modified by owner". It only has 39,000 miles, and obviously Walter Craig from Merritt Island has loved it and taken good care of it.
