If you're wondering about my username it's my other car. It's not been on the road for a long time but this year should be the year.

As you can see I'm quite settled on odd 2 seater coupés!

Lovely looking car..quite a lot of cross over between TVR and Zed fans…very reminiscent of the Lancia Beta Monte Carlo..

Whereabouts in Scotland do you hail from?

The brake pipes can rust and you can get a bit of surface corrosion and the rear subframe. A few pictures here. https://zroadster.org/threads/2006-e85- ... ild.48939/

Brake pipes and subframes don't worry me!

Lovely looking car and of course colour

These cars really wear their miles well compared to other marques of the same era don’t they. Might see you if you go on any organised Scottish runs

I've wanted a coupé for a fair few years but when this one popped up (drunk market place perusal...) I had to have it as it was the exact spec I wanted and better still very cheap!

It's done 143k miles but it feels fit so it's obviously been looked after.

Looks great,nice shade of blue. Suits the Coupes really well,and not an overly common sight

Yeah, myself and others do Monthly meets,just had one on Sunday down in DUMFRIES and Portpatrick, Galloway Forest,etc.
Maybe see you at a meet or two throughout the Year.
I also do one in The Lakes every Julyif that's if interest to you.
Got a couple of meets in The Borders this year,as most years.....some great roads.

Only the metal bits usually......

Welcome to the forum; love the old TVRs (especially the Taimar).
