2019 TVRCCNA Raffle - 1986 TVR 280i Series 2

"Instant fame and recognition can be yours. Just slip behind the wheel of a TVR 280i and drive anywhere. Heads will turn, cars will stop and men, women and children will compliment you on the car and ask what is it? "
—The Morning Call, August 24, 1985

Rumors have been floating around so some may have heard this but it’s true: thanks to a generous donation the Club will be raffling off what we understand to be the very first US Series II 280i (VIN number SA9DH28P3GB019100). The car is in good mechanical condition and has just under 60,000 miles on the odometer. It still wears its original Gipgloss Red exterior with black interior. Now for the important details:

  • The car will be raffled off at Out of the Woodwork 2019 on September 7, 2019 in Watkins Glen, NY. You do not need to be present at Woodwork to win (though it obviously would be more fun).
     
  • Raffle tickets will be $75 per ticket and can be purchased through the TVRCCNA website, in person at Out of the Woodwork, and possibly at some other East Coast British car shows this summer if we can find a way to get the car there. Please e-mail us if you need help purchasing raffle tickets or have further questions.
     
  • Raffle tickets purchased online will be virtual tickets, we will assign each online ticket a sequential physical ticket number at the start of Woodwork and in the order tickets were purchased. Officers involved in assigning tickets will not be participants in the raffle and your physical ticket number will be available on request starting 5 September 2019.
     
  • The winner can take delivery of the car at Watkins Glen after the TVRCCNA Banquet or can arrange to pick it up in Kintnersville, PA after the event. Car must be picked up by 31 October 2019 or a new winner will be drawn.

Below is a sample of photos, plenty more will be available on as we start cleaning up the car and getting it ready so bookmark this page and check back periodically. We’ve intentionally chosen to raffle this car off and made the tickets affordable because the goal of this isn’t to make a ton of money for the club. Rather, we want to publicize the marque and hopefully the low entry cost will encourage owners of other British cars, or even those who have never owned a British car, to look at TVRs so please spread the word in your other car clubs and online forums. Good luck to you and to everyone else who purchases an entry!

Online ticket sales have ended.
You can purchase tickets at the show through 7 September 2019.
Stay tuned to hear who won!
