Seeing some of the trailers for the S series they are about to do...it doesnt look to be complimentary about TVR's!!

So, i will await the pleasure of a queue of people waiting to tell me how bad TVR's are!! Sad the way it works...it seems people actually get some enjoyment out of telling you!!

When is the show on?

Damn!

Discovery RT+1 for me!

Like 'buying into unreliability' and 'TVR's are renowned for being fragile'

Oh well, as you say, they got their in the end! Seemed it didnt come out too bad, and for a 20 year old car...it was very good that it was only minor stuff needed doing!

Really? A good deal? I thought it was overpriced. OK it had a lot of work done by a pro mechanic, but a 1990 S2 is never worth over 4 grand IMHO. Mind you maybe that's just sour grapes after I just sold an S3 for 4K.

we all know the TVR speed six is not the most reliable engine (it wasn't built to be)
so why have problems with it when people state that the tuscan isn't reliable
i believe it was the big idiot in top gear who started this.
i don't mind
and
in the same way he's a fan of the esprit
had 2 and can say that they are not much more relaible as a total product
manifold, clutch, brakes, ecu and electric problems in general, shocks, turbo problems, wastegate problems etc
so
let them talk
keeps the idiots away
only enthousiasts will buy the TVR (or will get rid of it very quickly)

Don't take too much notice of these motoring journalist types. The British motor cycle, truck, and car industry has over the years by and large disappeared.There are many different reasons for this including the unwillingness of politicians to support British enterprise, the indifference shown by the public to buy British, and the championing of anything ' foreign ' by such programmes as Top Gear.
Watching the said programme recently the little one was in ecstacy commenting upon the car he was driving. Comparing it to a Porsche Boxster he made comments about how red blooded his mount was, not predictable in the handling like the Porsche, much more fun to drive, what a car!!!
Was this a TVR he was raving about? no just a BMW Z4.This is typical of the double standards that exist, not just in the media but generally. If your tutonic machine breaks down you don't say a word. However, if its British you tell everyone.
Just leave them to it.
I drive 30000 miles in my AUDI company euro box, leaves me cold. Its like drinking in Wetherspoons, no soul. When I sit in the Tuscan, well time to enjoy.
Just leave them to it.
