The cars are unreliable, they smell of glue, petrol and exhaust fumes and each one is virtually the same car just with a different 'wacky' exterior.

It would be an idea for some clever independent company to re engineer the engine (speed six?) to eliminate the failure modes and introduce some longevity backed by a warranty.

I wouldn't buy a TVR if came with an engine warranted for infinity to be frank; they are just oh so 'mid life crisis' cars. They are normally owned by early 40's blokes with balding heads, a beer belly and a desperate longing to recapture some excitement in life. The cars are unreliable, they smell of glue, petrol and exhaust fumes and each one is virtually the same car just with a different 'wacky' exterior.

BUT, they have a huge following and are something of a cult car amongst petrol heads, so with that in mind it would be sacrilege for it to have a non TVR engine transplanted.

This would unfortunately reduce the monthly forecast of the current crop that charge good money for a rebuild every 10k miles.
