I love all TVRs, fell in love even more when I drove a Tuscan something-or-other:

Have you seen the prices? Im by no means saying that are cheap but for what they are, what you get ect... they are naff all really if you take a look around at cars in the same area.

Always like TVRs but never thought I'd be able to afford one, seriously looking at one s a smoke round lol

lol Phil. Bear in mind they're built as well as Alpha's. The MD of my old company had a Griffith, and no word of a lie it was being fixed more than he drove it! The wiring in them is shocking as well!

Flip side of the coin though, theyre one of the last breed of supercar which hasn't been watered down with electronic driving aids. Properly raw, the way it should be!

I thought so much LOL, apart from that minor problem they are quite cool. Cant be much wrong engine wise as at the end of the day its just a tuned rover lump.

One of my old bosses had one,chameleon silver/purple type colour.Bloody lovely car, sounds awesome. 60 in first gear, roundabout 4.5ish? Very very quick.
Only problem I remember him having was getting squashed on the motorway between the crash barrier and a caravan. Pretty costly fibreglass panels.

Agreed, amazingly satisfying drive, especially on a circuit :)

I think I will do just that, I have a thing for V8s as it is anyway. I dont have a problem with reliability anyway, I drove my corsa everyday until a few months ago with no heaters an welded shut windows lol.

Would be a nice start to the day listening to a dirty V8 rumbling to work.

They are nice cars but they don't rev enough for me. Lovely looking cars that sound great on idle. It was really odd getting pushed back in your seat whilst the engine slowly climbed around the rev counter.

I wouldn't opt to buy one.

Can I make a PNG prediction?

I predict Phil buys one, and then sells the corsa to fund his new found petrol habit lol
