Amazing how shiney everything stays if you don't drive it

I expect to see you out in that car before the end of the summer, Alun.

I expect you to be driving it by the end of summer Anthony

I have to confess, the engine pics were taken a year ago,, before people ask, the difference in colour in my exhausts is because I tried experimenting with spraying misted oil over the buggers when hot,, it went a bit dark,,

I've polished them again since so,,,,,

As you can see I'm bored,,,

My cars going Into see the doc real soon,,, real real soon

Oupps, this one slipped in
All original GT 550 Suzuki 1977- R reg
13,000 miles from new,,,,, never been taken apart, all original cables,,,, etc
The guy has never even changed the position of the mirrors in 30 years,,,
Original tyres he says he's going to change them,,,

The bike has been on the road every year for the summer, it's never even been polished,,,

He cleverly oiled the underside of the mudguards when it was almost new and their still in fair nick,,,

It sounds ace,,, no real smoke,,, fuels lovely,,,

Incredible bike.

Oooh yes please an old piston ported triple with "Ram Air Cooling" (Suzuki gimmick) awesome bike ......but must say I prefer the Kawasaki H series triples from the same era though I actually road a kettle GT750 for the 1st time years and maybe I should of just stuck with my imagination of the ride overweight but nice power delivery once in the power-band

This is having my careful consideration at the moment.

Nostalgia really, in fact not as good as my old British bikes when I was a lad, in fact we thought these were rubbish, ......but it is a peach....

So, I have a 14 month old son, and I was debating whether or not to buy a trailer to tow the Tuscan around on holiday with us, when it occurred to me that the solution was to buy another TVR for the missus to drive. That now done, over the coming years we can go on family touring holidays around the UK! Just need to persuade her to get behind the wheel... Always loved the Griff, and I love those wheels, not to everybody's taste, but I think they bring out the best in the car

[phazed]

Yours?

[bababoom]

Yes didn't quite look like that when I bought it.

Inspired man logic there! Just got to persuade her to drive it!!

As an aside not getting the link between TVRs and Mumbai call centre worker commuting bikes.

Lovely combo, good luck persuading SHMBO on that, my OH won't drive my Tuscan despite loving the Chimaera we had 15 years ago.

Re the wheels, I actually think they're a perfect evolution over the original BBS's for the Griff and would have not have been suprised to see TVR put them on back in the day. What are they BTW ?
