Love it! Always wanted a TVR, one day, when I have a garage to keep it in. Enjoy the smiles :driving:

James, shes a beauty and in the best colour. Always been a puzzle to me how a constantly innovating cutting edge company in body design like TVR failed while Porsche still produce the stale 911 design which looks like a 1970's car.

Love that TVR - would love one but I live in etc sticks so no way I can get that up my drive, the Zed is only just about getting to the house.

That looks a cracking T350c. I had 9 straight years in TVR's and loved the whole experience. :thumbsup:

Looks amazing. I have been looking at TVR's for the last hour... Similar price to what I am going to spend on a C63 amg...

I can't pick a c63 over the e92 due mostly to reliability and then buy a TVR mind... Even if it is a second car.

A little more to it but in essence. Peter Wheeler, died and the dream died with him. :(

OP, simply stunning example. 8) :thumbsup: I guess most of those that are left are pampered and well cared for now. :)

Nice looking motor. I'd be worried about spending much of my downtime on the hard shoulder.
Is this a view thats unfounded, though? On a scale of TVR reliability, are these a 1 or a 10?

They are hand made cars and do have their quirks. Personally I found the reliability issue unfounded and it's like any car, if you maintain it and iron out the known issues then TVR's are very rewarding.

That looks absoutely stunning James. :wub:

Probably one of the few cars that might tempt me away from my MC - but not just yet as I haven't used it much due to lockdowns. :(
