to the TVR owners in the London area

[goo-goo-gjoob]

Hi guys,

I am a long time PH member, but I haven’t been posting much lately as I’m in the US and have been more active on American car forums. Anyway, my wife and I are planning a trip to Europe for some time in April 2014. (See the link below).

I have long been a huge TVR fan. My favorite car of all time is the Cerbera, but I have never actually seen one in person, and I would really love to have the chance to see one and go for a ride, if possible, while my wife and I are visiting England in April. I am not sure yet exactly when we will be there; we are just in the planning stage.

If any TVR owners in the London area would be interested in giving me and my wife a little TVR experience while we are visiting, please let me know. It would be an amazing experience for me! I have been watching the same Top Gear and PH member-made videos for years now, and I’m about ready to see one in real life! haha

My wife and I did not get to do the trip last year because we had a lot going on. However, we’re going to make the trip this year, for sure!
We are planning to be in London in a week. We arrive on Monday, April 20th and will be leaving Thursday, April 23rd.

I’m wondering if anyone near the London area with a TVR might be interested in meeting up and maybe taking us for a ride? Tuesday and Wednesday, any time, would be best for us since we might be tired from travelling on Monday.
I apologize for the short notice. I’m emailing a few of the owners, who replied to my thread a while ago, to see if we can make plans with someone. But I’m not sure if they still view the forums, so I’m posting this new message.

I used to own a Noble M12 and now own a Panoz Esperante. But I really love TVR and would love to see some and go for a ride; unfortunately I can't buy a newer one here in the USA. My wife likes cars, too, and we are working on a classic Mustang together.

Best regards,

Trevor

Where in London are you going to be?

We will be in the Victoria Station/Buckingham Palace area, seeing the sights. But we're willing to take the train to somewhere in London or just outside of London to see a TVR.

40min train ride west of London gets you to High Wycombe, I can pick you both up from there and take you out for a spin, probably working from home Wednesday so happy to take some time out at lunch if you can make it.

Mine is a scruffy Cerbera but underneath that scruffy exterior she is a polished diamond.

or more importantly, how big are you and your wife. Back seats are small...

haha, I know. I'm 5' 9" and my wife is like 5' 4". I think we'll be okay.

BrightYellowTVR, thanks for the info on the car club meet!

My wife and I are planning to be at the TVR meetup in Berkshire on Tuesday. Looking forward to it!
