You have to buy the best:

type "TVR" in the "album search" and have a look at an album called A BEAUTY and A BEAST by SPEED 8

I'm sure you want this beastie

Christof, if you only knew my friend. I try to explain what TVR is all about to friends of mine all over the world. Some have heard of TVR, others haven't. Without having to resort to the "have you seen Swordfish" line, I simply show them the pics of your car I have on all 3 of my laptops. Your car sums it all up for me and has converted many guys previously blind to TVR.

I would be after your car but I'm buying the Cerbera for Mrs Maranello. She wants the Wild Oyster with Cream interior! Nothing less. Bloody women.

P.S What are you doing up at 03:37(presuming you're in Germany now)?

Just looked through the album again.

Perfection.

How much?

Edited as I just saw the price at the end of the album.

Thanks a lot for your positive comments. Have to show them the factory...

Yep, you are right, it's early in the morning, the best time for working

Cheers,

Hey, it's tvrfreak, without the dash!! And I have joolz looking after it with a web-based remote control ie. moi! I send him an email, he replies, I totally it up 3 times, then I give in and call him and he diagnoses/fixes it in 3 seconds and then we chat for 30 minutes and run up the phone bill so that I can show some running costs on my spreadsheet.

Well-sorted TVRs, at least the V8s, *are* reliable. It would be truly AWESOME if you get Christof's machine. That is the best Cerbera I have ever seen/heard/hurtled around in.

Sorry, but I don't think your Tuscan's engine will last. No biggie though, you can probably get it rebuilt here and it will be done right Those finger followers always break, it seems.

That's quite some garage you are going to have. I have two Lotuses (Elise Motorsport and S2), and a TVR, as opposed to your two TVRs and a Lotus. Interested in motorcycles?

As for the Tuscan and Cerbera, not quite sure yet as they will be based in NYC. Again Faisal(TVR-Freak.com) has his Cerbera is San Fran so I imagine he has someone in the know looking after his baby

No wonder I haven't been able to access your site for a month! Duh!

What about this combination: Cerbera in NYC, Lotus in Miami and Tuscan in London/South France?

I have got to have the Tuscan and might just bring it to NYC for periods if maintenance is going to be a problem.

I get the impression that the Tuscan is quite reliable and that the spare-parts availability is not as much of a go-no-go issue as you make it out to be, maranellouk. American machine shops are generally excellent; if it's a mechanical issue, they can make one-off parts very well, quickly, and perhaps cheaper than having them shipped from England.

Please pay Worcester a visit: there are great roads around here and I'd love to show you around.

NY state has some beautiful roads and scenery. Harriman and Bear mountian state park have some real nice roads and are only about 40 minutes tops, from manhatten. One of my favorite places in NY, is a town called New Paltz. Under 2 hour drive. Neat little Hippy town, amazing white cliffs (about 300 ft in height). If your into rock climbing or mountian biking, thats the place to be. Real nice golf course as well.
This past spring some guys from the local Porsche club set up some nice routes around the Hudson River area. The PCA also has various auto cross events throughout the year. Might want to zip it around some cones while u have it here.Shoot me an email if you need route descrptions, etc.

Enjoy your stay
