I have been watching this forum too long. I am going to get a TVR. The question is do all TVR's suffer from the common major niggles ie chassis rot, engine rebuilds,electrical issues etc.
Chassis rebuild and engine rebuild seem to be the common expensive things on a Cerbera. And I here people say budget around £3k a year to run.
Chassis and electricals seem to be the issues with the Chimeara but don't know the advised annual running budget
My heart wants a Cerbera but I don't own a bottomless wallet so I think a Chimeara would be a better introduction to TVR ownership.
Question two has to be if I want a Cerbera am I just better waiting and getting what I want first time, what's the financial difference between owning a Cerbera and a Chimeara?
Cheers
M

Thanks for your replies and honesty. I really do want a Cerbera, not bothered which engine as long as it a V8, but I think my current financial situation / wife not interested in cars AT ALL and sees other priorities for the £3k a year, means that one will have to wait a bit longer before getting one. Think it will be my mid life crisis purchase!
I am however very serious about a Chimeara, looking at one tomorrow and also one at the weekend.
Thanks M
