Fleabay TWR

This is for sale locally; I haven't ever seen one that was actually stickered as a TWR before.
Home made job or a proper one?

"Racing spec" but no paperwork...............No MOT either. Buyer beware, I think. Some serious verification needed.

Body paint colour and styling of the stickers both suggest a job done YEARS after 1987...

Buying a car off eBay is always a risky venture without viewing. That said there are bargains to be had to the canny buyer. The seller is obviously a dealer who, judging by the variety of items sold makes his living or a profitable sideline from eBay trading. The feed back scores for vehicles sold are favourable, only one negative so it's a case of buyer beware as the seller will know nothing about the car!

I only put it in for interest and the fact that it is right next door to our favourite Indian restaurant!
The tail pipes look like proper TWR ones.
The garage specialises in VW camper restorations but usually has an interesting mix of stuff on the forecourt to look at whilst waiting for the takeaway.
