Lovely car, lovely owners, serial TVR owners, car a credit to them. They are a previous owner of OO 06 TVR, the silver grey Sagaris.
Our OP has done very nicely. Presently approaching the M25, I imagine........that'll be fun, but he won't care!!

Happy days l knew the previous owners very well through the car club but was'nt going to say anything until the sale of the car went through smoothly!!! I will text the former keepers that l can keep an eye on their former chim!!!!.

Just amazing.
Wife heard the car before she saw it.
Horrendous traffic but the car coped beautifully. I will be removing that second spring from the accelerator as suggested.
Noticed a brilliant quirk on the way home, headlights (side lights) and dashboard lights come on when the brakes are applied. Dashboard switch makes no difference.

As Alan Partridge said, after he left the Partridge Family. "Aha!!!".
That explains why I noticed your sidelights as you slowed behind me before we went our separate ways.

What a great story.

Topper - enjoy the car.

Qbee - your a true gent. This is what TVR ownership is all about

[QBee]

Sorry, Topper, but there is a right of passage on PH.
Nothing painful, you are just required to post a few photos of the best bits of your new car within 24 hours of purchase.....

[Topper_Harley]

Well aware of my obligations and will be using all 24 of those hours!
Daughter's birthday tomorrow but I'm off work so should be doable.
And you're right, Qbee is a real gent and asked some great questions.
This community really is amazing, I have my work cut out in finding a way to make my own contribution

Welcome to the club

Regarding the sidelights, have a look to see if it's got cheap ebay LED tail light bulbs in it, they normally bleed through from the brake light circuit.

Your an official member of the "Smile Wide" club now!!

Congrat's on your purchase. , and like above. Welcome to the club

[Danblez]

Congratulations.

Indeed, the best smiles per mile car there is. Oh and be careful you will notice that every journey now takes approximately twice as long as you intend it to!

Not a mark to be seen on the paintwork!

[Topper_Harley]

So you're saying you don't have the factory fitted cloak of invisibility??


Used it for the school run, liked the door controls, disappointed by the lack of CD player for Frozen etc.
Therefore a win for Daddy

List of things to consider:
1. Power Steering
2. Dashboard refresh
3. Window and roof rubbers
4. small amounts of touch-up paint
5. As much driving as possible

Very nice, very nice indeed.

[Topper_Harley]

Yes please. Are you free tomorrow?
