Actually - This is a pretty special car, well-known to TVR buffs as :The White Elephant". It was the personal ride of TVR's then-owner, Peter Wheeler. It was a one-off special, built up from an SE series car (I forget if it was a 400SE or a 450SE). By Built-Up, I mean that they actually overlaid fiberglass over the existing bodywork. This car was also the prototype for TVR's use of the Holden V8 in its cars. Blah, Blah, Blah - the rest of the story is here... and its a good story. Sorry I can't do full url, new member and all...

I gotta call BS on this.
You're afraid of an old army veteran who won't let you see the VIN, You claim it's in your backyard, and it's clearly NOT.

^^^^ This guy beat me too it.....I knew it was a special one off TVR, but I was gunna call it the white rhino, lol. I find it pretty hard to believe that this car is(was) in a backyard in Scarborough.....BS!
According to the website DrewEstes posted the car is currently being restored....The pic the O.P posted was taken when it was parked behind the TVR factory in england(NOT Scarborough).....even in the O.P's cropped version you can see another unpainted TVR body on the ground at the bottom left.
Pretty lame attempt at some B.S ae86kid86
