TVR Weekend Hire

[agreen]

Good Evening all,

I am an ex (sadly) Chim owner and I am looking to hire a TVR, either a Griff, Chim or Tamora, for a weekend to celebrate an anniversary with my girlfriend - can’t have anniversaries etc always being about the girls! Has anyone had any experience of hiring a TVR or are able to recommend a good company to hire from - so far the most obvious company to hire from is Bespokes however they have recently sold their Griff so would be looking at a Tamora from them. A few hire companies in the South West have the TVRs I am after but as I live in East Anglia they are a bit far away.

Second question to any Tamora owners - is the boot/any storage behind the seats accommodating enough to go away for a weekend (soft bags, towels, footwear etc)

Any help would be much appreciated, particularly from those who have used the services of such firms. Likewise any alternative options that I haven’t considered above would be most welcome.

Thanks

Alex

New Forest area too far for you?

I am afraid it is - I am near Cambridge and had planned to go up to and around the East Anglian coast

I have found a number will do, but the only one with TVRs seems to be Bespokes, who whilst the nearest to me are also the most expensive and want a further £240 for delivery and collection for a 80 mile round trip. (Nature of the surprise is that getting dropped off in London or Watford to pick will spoil it unfortunately)

Could do, but time, fuel and return in the train would be pretty expensive. I usually recommend people just come down to me and make a weekend of it, as it’s a nice area!

Far nicer than East Anglia! imho of course…….

Zed4 - I would love to use your firm and would always support a fellow Pher if it was practical - I did see your website and your terms far more favourable plus you have a Chimaera which is what I used to have but it would be a 300 mile round trip for me. I do like the New Forest area, in fact some friends have just bought a house not far from Salisbury but the weekend is likely to result in a proposal so wish to go somewhere we have a link to. I have always fancied having a go in a Caterham however so when I am down in the area for a long weekend I might give your company a call. If I can think of a suitable means of getting there and back and costs work out I might still give you guys a call.

phazed - you have been going to the wrong parts of East Anglia - its not all flat and boring!

Thank you for all your help and advice, much appreciated.

Cheers
