Found this old beauty down the road from my house in a customers garage..........proper gt200 and all there!!! He took it off the road in 1974 to paint it (yellow by hand over original paint!) only 14k miles and no damage, you can imagine the look on my face when he pulled the dust sheet off it................it wasn't easy to get off him but eventually I did!!!

Amazing find, I painted my old TV200 in the same colours (different scheme) back in 1970 only with GP yellow ochre rather than yellow.

I'm going to remove yellow to expose original paint then try and rebuild exactly as is retaining all original parts which I have in a box

Thats like the Holy Grail isn't it- great find (and yes i am envious :D )

I'm still hoping for the TV200 an old boy drove home brand spanking new in '64, but "didn't like it" and left it in the back of the shed................

I think the chances of finding that aren't particularly good :D

Nice find- does the engine turn over?
