The 1800S Mark IV was only produced in the 1966 and 1967 model years and a reported 78 were produced. Each one of these cars was hand built in England and has a unique and personal feel. This particular vehicle underwent a body-off restoration completed by TVR expert Ian Rainford of Colorado. The correct MGB 1800 engine was rebuilt with a mild cam and slightly higher compression for enhanced performance. It is coupled with the proper MGB four-speed manual transmission and with four-wheel independent suspension this automobile handles superbly. It is equipped with an electric fuel pump for greater reliability, and still wears the iconic Dayton 72-spoke stainless steel wire wheels with knock-off hubs and the correct sized Vredestein tires.

The green paint looks great over the sweeping lines on this beautifully handcrafted car. Tan interior is a nice contrast to the exterior color, and the woodgrain dash gives the pilot a comfortable feel. The countersunk gauges and three-spoke steering wheel have a racecar-type look. This particular vehicle won first place in its class at an all-British car meet in San Diego.
