What car did you trade in to buy your first TVR?

[Tech Man]

I sold my Porsche 928 it was a nice car but not a patch on the Chimaera for performance and fun factor

well i didn't trade anything in..Both my parents died and left me a house. At 37 made me realise we don't live forever and that u have to have your dreams as and when u can.. so i did it.. next dream not sure. a Tuscan i suppose(go.t 5L Chim at present).

life every day like it is your last just in case it is. and if u got a TVR drive it every day.It's good for your soul and yer engine

Like Jessica, nothing.

Just many years of hard earned cash starting from when the Griff was first released.

No holidays etc for years...in the end got a 4.5 LW Cerb instead

I traded my 416si Rover in for the Chim...........
Some how i've still got the silly big grin after 3 months

Me Too! I had one in Blackberry - great car, nice colour. Traded it for a 2 year old Cosmos blue Chim. Kept that for 2 years then bought my first new TVR - a Purple Paradise 5Ltr Griff, then a Tuscan, now a Tuscan S - God, I must be a Sucker-for-punishment!

Me three! We should form a Corrado withdrawal group! I still quite fancy a Corrado Storm....Trying to persuade Mrs. Nubbin that a Corrado should be her next car!


Let me know if your tactics work...I'm thinking along the same lines!

My soul.

[trackdemon]

Sold my beloved Alfa 164 V6 Cloverleaf to my best man, bought the Chim. That old Alfa was a great car, best engine in any sport-exec

I sold my ar5e to the devil to get my Chimp.....but being a rent boy to Be-elzebub aint so bad when I get to enjoy my TVR on days like today...

1998 GTO Twin Turbo.


Was a funny day, drove down from london (to sandbach) dropped off the car, in a right state, grabbed my cahs outtta it, and handed it over, all dirty and messy

dealer was desperate for the motor.

Another Corrado VR6 ex-owner reports...

After reading through the posts here I am seriously considering selling some property and joining the party! Should have enough change from the sale to keep a Tiv on the road for a year or two as well!
