Never has a truer word been uttered on this forum.
After lusting over several in photos I just couldn't believe how much more gorgeous they were in the flesh !

Adrian at Central TVR has been working on my little blue car, he's such a nice man, and it's nearly finished smile
In the meantime they gave me a boring little red car....































A S6 is such a different experience!

Aide I've just picked this post up.
Sad to see but I'm sure it'll be as good as new, as many have said the minimal damage won't effect the cars value ..... Unless of course you sell it to me, then 20% discount should do it!!
Yours is certainly a car that could tempt me back to a Cerb, how do you find the loan car?
It was on loan to a friend that came down to Le Mans with us this year.

Hey Darren

Bodywork is all done and got a few bits tidied up as well.

I got a few snaps of the work so far and I'm really hoping to get it back for TiTT12...

The red Cerb.. Adrian mentioned that it was at Le Mans, it has new engine from Power and it's smooth! The throttle response is instant. I'm glad I had a chance to properly try out a S6, its a beautiful engine I can't believe how freely it revs! I'd love a Tcar smile

smile I have so much respect for a Brompton, having done a few long rides in the past, I have to say it's a great little piece of engineering.

Mine does brixton to tulse hill and London bridge to Barbican area every day and back. Only 6 or 7 miles a day. It's pretty quick acceleration but will spin out as its only got 2 gears. But if you stand when climbing (Tulse Hill for example) you can power past the Lycra brigade who aren't used to hills. Then means my weekends in the Peak District are a bit faster having had some saddle time in the week. A bit like owning a tvr or a Land Rover, you get obsessed with upgrades etc

Heh, god no, I've done a few big rides on various good bikes in the past and a brompoton is a great little 5k sprinter. Love ringing the bell behind lycracommuters half way up Penton Rise on my way home from worksmile

The traditional TVR drinking hole was Dirty Dicks near Liverpool St station (well it was back in the late 90's / early 00's).

Preferring the blended in lights rather than the pod style?

Would have preferred if it was untouched.

However, blended lights on a late car that left the factory with Tuscan pods, colour coded a-pilars, Tuscan seats, Spiders and an angled rear number plate is acceptable.

Even more so if the motivation is solely down to a bit of well documented fibreglass damage as opposed to a purely cosmetic one?
