1969 TVR Vixen

This lovely little TVR Vixen was bought to McNair Motorsport by a long term TVR owner and racer Pete Reeve.

After racing high powered more modern TVRs Pete decided that he wanted a change so purchased the Vixen and commissioned us to convert it from a road car to a post historic racing car.

The body shell was removed from the chassis so that it could be checked over, strengthened and powder coated before being fitted with new or reconditioned and uprated suspension components.

The car will be running a fully built 1600cc Ford X-Flow endurance race spec engine, bullet gearbox and plate type LSD. This drive train spec allied to the cars low weight should make it a very competitive package.
