I may be buying an old TVR 'wedge'.
Always loved them, even if they are a bit shite.
275bhp 4 litre Rover V8 in a sub tonne plastic car. What could possibly go wrong?
I have potentially found one which needs quite a bit of work, but the important bits seem good.

Hardest part is finding somewhere to put it.

What could go wrong? Chassis rust seems endemic in the TVR

The one I am looking at had a complete body off chassis refurb just 600 miles ago.
The chassis and electrics are the 'important' bits for me. Everything else is relatively painless.

I am just waiting for the wife to get home so we can have a massive row about it.

Buy it….!

So you will be selling the Ferrari then?
Strangely Andy we are currently up in North Yorkshire staying with someone who has just sold a genuine red Ferrari and also has a TVR which is his pride and joy.

Ask for forgiveness, not permission.

A lot easier.

 

[Boyo]

Had a Chim, Griff and Tamora back to back over 10 yeaers prior to migrating to Z4's. Chassis are an issue but they always put a smile on my face and really attracted attention.

 

[Mr Tidy]

I've always fancied owning a TVR - but just never liked the wedges.

Anyway I hope you get it - after the row of course!

 

[Pondy]

So......
She thinks the 'wedge' is ugly and 'boxy'!

But she didn't moan too much (no more than usual anyway) so I take that as a green light. Not that it would make any difference is she had said no, but it's easier if she is on board a bit.

No, the fakerrari stays. This is aswell as, not instead of.

You’re starting a little collection of plastic cars

It would appear so. I also would like another Lotus, but that will have to wait.

 

[Mr Tidy]

A TVR and a Lotus - I can see the fakerrari getting a lot of use!

 

[IRD]

Which one is going in the lounge? Because you don’t have a lot of room to spare. Or are you going to sell Heather’s car again on the basis you need the room?

 

[buzyg]

Your going to be busy and poor. Apart from that sounds like the perfect project.

 

[Pondy]

Your going to be busy and poor.

I have been both of those for the past 58 years, so no change there.

This is of no interest to Andy, genuine indeed!
