A number of years back I owned a TVR3000M (a 3 ltr Capri in drag), whilst doing some work on the drive train, I had to replace the prop shaft. Contacted TVR who put me in contact with a supplier who supplied the part, when it arrived it didn't fit nor the next one either! Went back to TVR who investigated and came back with the reply................
"Your car was made in 1977 just after the fire and whilst we had plenty of engines, gearboxes were in short supply. So we pinched one from a delivery van and fitted it to your car, unfortunately we never got round to fitting the correct one. As a gesture we will supply a bespoke propshaft. Sorry!"
TVR's absolutely love 'em, just for being so British and proud of it!
