Does anyone know this car?

Congratulations!
Take it easy for the first few hundred miles though, on a damp day it's possible to break traction changing lanes on the motorway.. in 4th.
And another one that nearly caught me was coming out of a hand carwash on a dry day - the tyres are still wet and will break traction very easliy..

Congratulations and take it easy until spring time cold and damp don't go well with any TVR.

Careful on the way back up to the Deen my work mate stays in Perth and just off the phone to his wife and It is very heavy snow there just now.

New slave ordered from Race Proved today and new master from Racetech. I've spoken to a local guy I used to work with yesterday and tonight about it. He's got a laminated copy of the How To and will collect the Cerb from mine at the end of the week. May have to lend a hand on Saturday but that's ok and far better than crawling around on my swamp of a driveway. I've also bought a pair of Goodyears for the front and will get those on at the same time.
Based upon the first 2 days of ownership, I can well believe my annual running costs will be a few grand, since I've spent nearly a grand since yesterday! (ok, that includes a new cover)

Part of the bonding experience! 1st drive home and my throttle jammed wide open after 30 miles of thinking "just take it easy" and then an M3 flashed me.... lost the M3 and damn well nearly my under pants. One shoe lace repair to hold the cable onto the throttle cam later and off home we went... one or two stops after that ( allmost ran out of fuel, did'nt close bonnet properly... user error)
Since then wipers have randomly given up, lights failed, complete electrical shutdown on the motorway... Meh!
Greatest cars in the world! Probably.
Ps: Seems to post single file on my Android ICS.

It does look rather pretty after a quick polish yesterday.
My wife spent an hour or so with leather cleaner and conditioner and got about 2/3 of the dashboard and centre console cleaned up. The seats and A/B pillar trims are still pretty dirty but we'll get to those soon enough.
Gill enjoyed her brief drive prior to losing the clutch - she was speeding up just so she could back off with a big silly grin as it popped and banged. Atta girl...
And we've had a few visitors who have come to see the car and pretend to drive it...

Nice pics mate, its a lovely colour! My wife spent an hour or so with leather cleaner and conditioner and got about 2/3 of the dashboard and centre console cleaned up. The seats and A/B pillar trims are still pretty dirty but we'll get to those soon enough.
