Initially powered by Ford's 2.8 Cologne V6, from 1991 it was also available with the 3.9 V8 Rover engine, these V8S models being easily distinguished by the central hump in the bonnet to allow clearance for the larger engine. This engine was subsequently ditched in favour of TVR's new AJP8 engine which was designed in-house and was fitted to the TVR Cerbera of the 1990s. Basically a race engine, this had a formidable 360bhp in the 4.2 version and a bonkers 420bhp in the 4.5 version, sufficient to hurl the Cerbera to 60mph in 4.1 seconds on its way to a top speed of 185mph -- if you were brave enough First registered in August 1998, this TVR 280S now professionally fitted with a later 4.5 V8. there are various invoices from 2014 onwards for V8 service items so it must have been at least a dozen years ago. having had a brand new chassis and new coil-over suspension with Spax adjustable shocks etc. fitted electronic ignition, gave it a thorough service and also fitted new headlamps and a luggage rack to the boot. a new clutch master cylinder was fitted , along with fresh oil and filter and a new battery in November 2023 plus a new set of Falken tyres in August 2021 at 51,800 miles. It also retains the original handbook and service book with 8 stamps, the last in March 1992 at 25,764 miles. It has an MOT until August 2026 with no advisories recorded plus three old MOTs. As you can see in the photos, this TVR looks very presentable , not to mention exciting to engaging to drive , with healthy 45psi oil pressure and bags of grunt from that big V8.
