That will be one of our customers Wayne who I lent it to while we upgrade his current Tuscan clutch, also he wanted to see what difference the Nitron suspension system made to the handling (he's now having a set fitted on his Tuscan)

The Mango looks great in the flesh, esp with the black bits the previous owner Steve had done, I think I might just take it to the Lemans Classic this weekend as it just makes you grin when you're driving it.

Certainly brightened up an already bright day cool

I used to see the car regularly at our TVRCC meets, as paul1962 is one of our RO's

It looks fantastic. I've looked at your advert umpteen times over the last week trying to convince myself the extra ££££ over the Chim would not equal that much more enjoyment, but it's an argument I'm not winning laugh

Are you back from the classic on Tuesday? If I have not convinced myself otherwise I will be giving you a call thumbup

Great stuff. Hope you enjoy it.

I found it difficult to go anywhere without somebody spotting me when I had it. It does stand out from everything else on the road.

Great to hear from a previous owner.

You know, I check back here every time I drive it - not been spotted yet. A VW Golf drove past me on the motorway with a TVR sticker on the back, I felt sure that was banker!

Also, another phenomena - I have never seen so many Mango Citroen Saxo's than I have over the last two weeks laugh I even got stuck in traffic with a very similar colored Mercedes Van behind me earlier this week, it must have looked like I was in convoy with my own personal support vehicle!
