I had an opportunity to see and acquire some of these parts last week, I
posted a message on the spridgets list just yesterday. If I had known that
the 63 TVR had racing history, I would have given it a closer look. It is
definitely in need of a lot of restoration. There is also a '72 2500M TVR
which Dom was rebuilding, It's in much closer to running shape. The Spridget
parts are mostly 948 and 1098 stuff, includes everything from windshields to
3 full Midget parts cars. Lots of ribbed case trannys, and a couple of race
948s left, and a full set of welded diffs (pumpkins). They also just found a
bunch of Lola body parts for the T340s squirreled away up in the eaves of
his woodworking shop. Dom was definitely a character, and I would have loved
dearly to make his acquaintance. To those of you who knew him, I'm jealous
of you. To everyone else, Please remember that this is his widow's sole
income at the moment, so be generous with your parts price offers (but not
stupid)
