Well, if you do a google for the TRV, you'll see that just about every model year was different.. and there are quite a few models to start out with.
But it's a TVR.

Any chance that guy wants to sell it? lol

Or are you after it for yourself?

ae86kid86 06-14-2008 05:02 PM

If they can shoehorn a 426 Hemi into a first gen civic, I'm sure you can squeeze a small block chev into it without too much trouble.

Use a mid plate setup, it'll be a lot easier then any other style.

:headbang:

ae86kid86 06-14-2008 05:48 PM

oh sh** really a 426 in a civic wow im gona buy that TVR then he said $200 its yours and that it is

Do yourself a favour, get the paper work figured out first BEFORE you buy it.

You said it had no ownership, or serial number, you're going to have to go to the MTO and get the forms from them.

Without any documentation on the car, it's going to be a huge hastle to get it into your name, so be sure the car is worth it, or you may end up just owning a giant paper weight. lol

I had to do this once a few years ago when I bought a 55 VW Beetle... Took about 4 months all together, but I had a lot of tracking down to do, I was able to find the last registered owner with help from the MTO and the police. I gave him 100 bucks to come to the MTO with me, and sign a paper infront of them that allowed me to make the transfer.

You may have less of a problem, if the guy has some kind of receipt from a past owner, but even still, your going to have to find a way to get the original VIN number in order for the MTO to give you a sellers package.

Good luck!

ae86kid86 06-16-2008 04:49 PM

what about if it got a custom vin my friend did that too his truck pretty sure it cost him $300

QuickGT 06-16-2008 07:44 PM

Well, it's possible, you may be able to have it deemed as a "Kit Car".. (unlikely though)
But you'd still have just as much crap to go through as any other way.

When you build a kit car as their called, or a home built car, you'll have to bring all related documentation before a justice of the piece, and do all that swearing crap, lol
bill of sale,all receipts, engine block serial number, you name it, everything you have from start to finish, just as if you you built it yourself.

you'll need to make up your own VIN, the MTO will have all the forms and info on what you need to do.
The car will need a safety, and depending on year, a emissions test as well.
Then you should be able to get plates.

It's a long road in some cases, but could be worth it...

My advice though, would be to try and get ahold of the currant registered owner, will make life a WHOLE lot easier.

Good luck!

Nope, it's not a porche, or even a Porsche, It's a Early 80's TRV.
and if ae86kid86 would be a sport and let me know where it is, I'd be happy to go have a look at it... no really just look. lol
Don't trust me, I'd buy it.
