Owning a TVR outside of the UK

[Mushroom12]

Hello all,
Long time lurker, finally posting.

I want advice.

I'm British, but have been living overseas for a decade or so, one day I got into my s2000 and ran away to Europe. Right now I live and work in Bulgaria doing just grand. I love my s2000, and it's never skipped a beat in the 7 years I've owned her, but my heart has always been with TVR, and now I can finally afford one...

I've lusted over a Tuscan ever since their release; I'd give my right nut for one. I don't mind the Tamora either.

The question I have is, am I batst insane for even considering owning one outside of the UK. Parts, yea they can be mailed, but working on the cars if needed? Is it possible? Or will I be buying a car that will be good for 6 months or so then have to rot in silence cause something went wrong and no bugger outside of TVR can fix it?

Would a Chim be a more 'sensible' choice (I really want a Tuscan though ) or should I just forget TVR ownership and file them under 'that cute girl at uni who I should have made a move on but left it way too late'?

Thanks

Cheers chaps, you're all a terrible influence on me.
I'm not a spanner twister anymore; I simply don't have the time or space to do it, but the chap who mentioned his friend is happy with Bulgarian mechanics on a 928 is pushing me in the right direction.

The question is then, 20,000 quid or so...Tuscan, Tamora, Chimera? I think the V8 will be easier for a non-specialist to work on, but the T-Cars make me wet...

I thought there was a Bulgarian guy on here the other day that has a Cerbera.
Cant find the thread now??

I hope so, would be cool to talk to him, although it does dilute the 'only one in the country' aspect

Just a quick thanks to everyone here. Managed to get in touch with the TVR owner in Bulgaria and he's been more than helpful. Will start churning though the classifieds...

Anyone know anything about this beauty?

Still on the fence over T-Car or Chimera, but really want to get one over here...
