That seems unusually cheap. I wonder how much the missing rear window has to do with that low price...
It's just a headstart to a TVR ute. 
Don't these suffer from frame rust too?
Just an excuse to built a new tube frame.
Lexan the rear window. Now lets get back to the tube frame ...
In reply to Woody:
Rear windows are unobtainium. If you can find one, it will be about $2000. Or you can have a plexiglass repro shipped from England for around $1500 plus shipping.
In reply to psteav:
Mostly on the outriggers, which are easy to replace.
Ouch....I've always wanted one of these (as you may remember Jim...).
Probably not too many parts cars around either.
Why does it hurt so much more to say "$2000 window" than "$3800 TVR"?
In reply to ransom:
Ha! I don't know, but it does.
The only thing that draws me towards a TVR is there is a strong club presence in my area, so knowledge and (possibly) parts would be easier to source. Other than that... Hmm...
Having had many frustrations finding certain parts for a Triumph GT6 (which still have a reasonable amount of parts floating around for fairly cheap), I couldn't even imagine trying to get parts for a TVR, which are about a thousand times rarer than a GT6, which is pretty uncommon in the first place......
In reply to irish44j:
Other than a few items, like the rear window and chrome bumpers (rubber bumpers are available), most parts are very easy to source. There are a couple TVR suppliers here in the states and quite a few in the UK. Places like Moss Motors and The Roadster Factory carry all the TR-6 stuff.
The real issue with restoring a TVR is that you'll likely be financially upside down in the end, so you should only do it if you plan on keeping the car long term.
