I used to sell and fit those Vecta immobiliser units and they worked by cutting the fuel, ignition and normally the starter circuits. All cuts were well hidden and used black wires on all connections. If the unit is still installed and someone has cut the wires to the key (which used a laser cut balanced resister that matched a resister inside the main sealed unit), you will need to trace the wires from the key, back to the main unit (a black box about 5x5x25mm), then from there trace all the wires out to the circuits that have been cut so they can be reinstated. This is a very long job as these were designed to prevent a thief stating a car within 2 hours. Good luck.

I’d be happy to try and help if the Vecta unit is still installed, I.e there is still wiring going up to where the key plugged in and has been cut off. I’m only about 1hr away.

Same, I used to fit high end car security from 80’s till early 00’s. You need to find the ECU then trace all the wires & reconnect as they were originally. Be aware that sometimes one circuit would be an earth just to make life more complicated if you were trying to hot wire the car 😂
@Funkyboozer
@Funkyboozer Год назад
Same. I’ve been in the car security business since 1994 and we used to fit the Vector systems. I still find them every so often on classic cars. The trick with a good immobiliser is how it’s fitted. In all these years I’ve bypassed hundreds of immobilisers and they generally take between 2 minutes for a poorly fitted system, to about 30 minutes if it’s been fitted really well. Then a bit more time tidying all the loom and putting it back together obviously. I’ve seen plenty of mechanics and owners just chop off the receptacle plug thinking that’ll bypass it, so the immobiliser could still be in the car somewhere. If not, check the crank sensor.

8:47 - You know, as a biker I'd sorely love to see a motorcycle spin-off series for the Barn Finds, same concept but bringing someone who knows their bikes and is handy with a spanner along. There's so many more bikes hidden away because they're a lot easier to stash in a corner. Let's bring them back into the fold eh?

Isn't there a RU-vid algorithm related issue with motorcycle videos ? - Matt Farah refers to these issues pretty frequently. I think it's why some people end up with second channels. That said I know of an 850 LeMans that's been stored (!) for so long one of the front discs has rusted in half.

I worked at TVR from 1989-2006. As a 17 year-old I fitted the headlamps, rubber bumpers and indicators, the wheelarch liners and those chunky bits of rubber on the inside edges (amongst other things like doing the butty run for the final assembly line workers!). I loved working there, I ended up test-driving/rectifying Tuscans, Tamoras, T350s and Sags. Thank you so much for bringing back some great memories.

As a previous TVR S owner it is good to see someone looking to bring this one back onto the road. Mine was a year older on a F plate in blue and was a S1.5. Pity you didn't get it started and would love to see in a follow-up video. Mine had the same "photocopy manual" so that is likely to be original before you think of throwing it away!

Had three TVR’s, first was an S same as the one in the video but it was blue. Second was a V8S which was mint, same burgundy as the car in the video but it cream leather trim and body coloured piping. The last one was a Griffith 500. All were purchased from David Gerald TVR and they were totally reliable. My favourite was the V8S which had exhausts like drain pipes and sounded awesome. Still regret selling that and wish I still had it ! Great video, bought back some good memories 👍

There's a pair of 86 Celica/Supras BOTH five speeds another 1978 Celica ST Convertible,a 1977 Corona Sedan with the 20R Engine,a 1988 Mazda RX7 Convertible with a 5-speed, and a White 66 Mustang with a Black Vinyl Roof which was bought new but as a "Leftover." All were running around for the most part until pretty recently. The best part? They were all Free, the Family just wanted them gone. Remember these are NEW Mexico cars with zero rust 😜😉.

Like the way you bypass the fuel systems, with a length of wire you can bypass the cars electrical systems and supply power directly to the ignition system as a fudge for these scenarios. It's almost always the electrics that stop you from acheiving startup and if you had an auto electrician with you it's really a very simple bypass. Keep the barn find vids coming Jonny, I love em!

My cousin had a 3000M from around 1974. Unlike the Taimar it didn't have a rear hatch so putting luggage in the back was a bit of a trial. His had the 3 litre Essex V6, although others had the 2.5 straight six Triumph motor and re-emerged a few years later with the Rover V8. The style can be traced back to the older Grantura, Griffith and Tuscan from the '60s.

@@TheLateBrakeShow Non-native speaker here "I also" is "Just like you did" not "In addition to the things you did". Non-sarcastic thank you for pointing this out, it was a Dutchism that was difficult to spot.

My Dad had a 2.9 S2 when I was younger. We went on loads of road trips and car club meets. Brilliant car and memories 👍

Very nice car. You have to do a follow up on some of these barb finds Johnny. I'm sure everyone would love to know what happened to them.

Interesting car--I saw one at a local car show in the U.S.. Good attempt to get it running; keep at it.

Cheers v much. It is sometimes frustrating that we try various methods, but can't always get them fired up.

I owned a TVR in Toronto back in the late 80’s 32:23 which was sold to me [ used ] as a S2 but given the lack of information and given gradually learning more over the years I suspect it was a S1.5 . I loved the car even though first time out I spun 360 Degrees plus it was a delicate car to park re catching the under body on concrete parking blocks. Always was fun to drive in Toronto as people were always stopping me [ literally] to ask me what it was . It’s one of my three cars I never should have sold .

I bet this was properly quirky in Toronto!
