First years cost of my Chim

[mickh32]

I have now owned my Chim for a year and have kept a record of everything I have bought or paid out for which I know is a bit anal but i thought it might be interesting. The figures are fairly accurate.

Indicator levers/hand brake £60
Battery/tray £87
Indicator lenses £24
Seats re-padded,leather gaiters £140
Plug leads £30
Fuel pump £123
Chrome swirl tank cap £10
1 litre oil £10
Suspension set up £92
Roof seal rubber £17
Windscreen washer conversion £15
6000 miles service + MOT £230

A grand total of £838.

Add to this petrol, 132 gallons at different prices = £710. This was over 3011 miles which equates to 23 mpg.

For just over £1500 I consider this a small price to pay for the joy of owning a TVR and hope next year will be a bit less as some or most of the above mods will not need doing again.

Thanks to my headmaster Jed I have hopefully corrected the figures. I must blame the mistake on my ageing calculator, couldn't have been my fault.

Note to self, must try harder.

Cheers Jed you ********

st. just thought,hope the wife doesn't read this and see how much it really cost. Can't afford to buy a new set of testicles as well.
