I trailered mine out of there three years ago. There were rumors of a few. Are you a club member?

I was hoping to drive to some events - did not work yet, those are mostly far away too.

Not much if anything TVR specific, but lots of car stuff in the summer. SuperCar Saturdays, classic car shows all over the place. Just google Chicago car clubs or shows.
One day I aim to get my Tuscan over, just not sure what engine to use in it. LS3 is the obvious choice but you might as well just buy a corvette. Maybe a tweaked AJ6 supercharged Jag engine would make a nice change and still fly under the EPA's radar.
Either way, would love to see a TVR on the streets of Chicago, and I live very close to where you took that picture.
Yeah.. where are you located?One day I aim to get my Tuscan over, just not sure what engine to use in it. LS3 is the obvious choice but you might as well just buy a corvette. Maybe a tweaked AJ6 supercharged Jag engine would make a nice change and still fly under the EPA's radar.

I am making the TVR's popular in Chicago again! Going to all the places a TVR should drive!
There a Triumph club and Italian car club, I know there are quite active. Have to make it to some events.
Currently the car is in a very good condition and I just drive it, but I do worry a bit where to get stuff soon, like a clutch, brakes, suspension parts.. What is the LS3 ? In Germany a good engine was the V8 from Rover.
Later,
Yes, I intend to be at British Union car festival at Harper College on Sept.19th, but also I might be able to get out to Winnetka on 30th. I am quite sure both TVR's and owners I met earlier will be be at Harper College.
My car (currently) does not leak, I am quite happy about it. That does not mean that I like to drive it the rain..
What are you driving?
Greetings
Congratulations, and welcome to the club! Taimar is a great car! Please send some pictures and details of it, I have not seen any other Taimar in US yet - except for pictures of one for sale in CA.
If there are still events this year and the weather is OK, I would drive to meet other TVR owners. 2-3 hrs. is the range for me... unless, something really significant, over a weekend or so.
Milwaukee is definitely in this range.
I have been to a few events this summer, the best was the British Car show at Harper College just few weeks ago.
2 other TVR owners were there, both owned the 3000S, one converted to V8.
I now realize, that I have been communicating with one of the owners - SquashedCat - about the event, but we have missed each-other at the event.
Well, hope to hear soon from you, perhaps we can meet for a chat.
Are there still any events you are planning to attend?

I also like a lot the event in Winnetka. European car only, a lot of them and a very nice corner has been chosen for the even too. I have been there twice this year with my Taimar and met the gentleman with the great Vixen.
He is also interested in the pre-80 TVR meeting and will hopefully join us for one of the next ones as well.
Talking about the pre-80, I wonder whether you know this site, started in July this year:

The creator and all visitors appreciate pictures of the cars, so if you do not mind, contact Patrick and send some pictures, location and the VIN of your car to be added in to the index.

Hi Charlie,
I am in Germany visiting - also - my TVR friends and thus late with the response. Thanks for the info about the TVRs around Chiacgo - yes, in the meantime I met some of the the owners you have mentioned.
The event Winnetka is a very nice one. No too long and not too short, with great cars, almost free and in a very nice location.
It is a perfect place for TVR's to meet!
I am IN!
