The TVR Scamander was created by the late Peter Wheeler as the perfect vehicle to take him both across the moors on his farm and out to his boat on a mooring. But the Scamander hasn't been driven on road for over 12 years, so the first job to get it back in working order was to get it MOT'd..

Hats off to Joe for getting this back on the road! With TVR getting more attention than it has in years its about time to get some of the special "one offs" back in the public limelight and show how special TVR was... and how special their owner was as well.

Brilliant! Damn shame Peter is no longer with us such a pioneer. He would give these SUV producing manufacturers something to think about. No concepts produced and then never to be seen again as we see from so many car manufacturers!! Peter designed it and just did it.

Great vid Harry. The Scamander is so 'out there' it hasn't dated. Amazing off road ability considering it's only two wheel drive (I think?). That was a brave run to the MOT station! As ever twenty minutes of grin inducing petrol hedonism! And thank you Mr Wheeler for being a true eccentric genius.

Great to see it almost "back home", you were just a few feet away from Lawfield engineering and Brian Hosfield who has huge working knowledge of e Scamander and was TVR's race engineer worked on all the race cars, Peters 5000M and the creation of the Scamander. Some first hand back story would have made a very good video just perfect. My two TVR's, a Restomod TAIMAR (probably the last ground up TVR that will ever be built at Bristol Ave) and one of the last surviving "bootless" 3000S prototypes are both there with Graham's SDP12. Always enjoy your video's

The start of the video reminded me of two things. The first car I drove at over 100 mph was a TVR. Can’t remember the model but it had a Ford engine with a overhead valve head conversion. I carried out my first MOTs using an outdoor four post ramp. An outside ramp had one big advantage in the days when it snowed. Dam stuff didn’t melt & run down your neck.

And now for something completely different! Love it!😂 It reminds me, vaguely, of the Judge Dredd Landrover, built for the film a few years ago. Professor Pat Pending has nothing on Peter Wheeler. You have to admire him, not just for turning TVR around but for defying convention and doing his own thing. 👍 I'll bet he had a bit of a chuckle to himself looking down on the proceedings. RIP Peter.

Naughty Harry ! When the car joins the road from the moor, then goes over the cattle grid the next shots are actually of it going back to Joe’s towards Newton. It then appears in Waddington then onto Clitheroe which are the other way ! Still a great vid and Sunday wouldn’t be Sunday without Harry. Wish I had seen it and then both, twice I’ve missed them now !
