History
 
M Series - 3000M
3000M belonging to Pietro Abate

The "M" Series brought together the Vixen and Wide Bodied Tuscan on a new chassis. The model range started with one fastback body and three engines, 1600M; 1600cc, (Ford straight 4) 2500M; 2500cc, (Triumph straight 6) and 3000M; 3000cc, (Ford Essex V6) and ended, in 1980, with three body styles, 3000M, Taimar (a 3000M with hatchback) and 3000S convertible all of which incorporated the 3litre engine, 63 of which were built with the Broadspeed derived Turbo.

The best the acting editor can do is refer our reader to excellent article by Clive in the March 2004 edition of Sprint.

Also see Sprint Sept 1995.

Trivia fact: The last Essex V6 was made on 19-12-1999 and was most probably destined for a South African pick-up truck..


Vehicle Wiring Colour Code: Are you in the process of, or planning to rewire your car. I have details of the wiring colour codes that apply to our cars. The document gives a detailed listing of the wire colours with respect to the item it is connected to. The original specification appeared as a document laid down by the British Standards Institute under order number BS-AU7a, dated 1983. If you would like a copy please email me at tvr-m-series
My thanks to Autosparks for some of the info.
