Tvrs + some other imposters!

Hello All

Greetings from Italy once more. Went out with my local TVR club this weekend for a blast around the Tuscan hills and a trip to the Pagani Zonda factory. Thought you would like to see the pics!
Pagani factory was literally like working in your back shed!

Mate, that must be brilliant driving around in Italia in a TVR - what kind of reaction do they provoke from the locals?

[TVRUnoficialBlog]

That's nice! Compliments for giving TVR passion from Italy. I'm from Italy too. So what about to send me some images about the meeting to publish on my TVR Unofficial Blog?

Ciao!

Its nice to see my old car running so well in its new home.

Silver lower stripe is now missing and it doesn't look as pink as it was? Must have had some new paint.

What's the red coupe about 5 shots down? Is it an Aston DB2/4 or something? Looks gorgeous.

DB2 Mk3 i think, i use to work on these, back in the late 70s!!!
TVR in Italy, must do that one day, great country, great car, great food, great weather etc etc etc

Hi guys

Thanks for all the comments

Yes, as you can imagine, rumbling through Verona town centre, cobbled streets, in the Cerb gets a bit of a reaction to say the least!! No one has ever seen a Cerbera let alone the rest of the range. Ferraris seem old hat when they see a TVR!!!

Roads are great although the route we took was a bit of a 'mare at times. Hairpin after hairpin, stop start, poor Cerb got a bit hot!! Plus, I was with my very neurotic (at least when being driven) girlfriend, so could't make the most of the hairpins!!

Can't believe that someone has recognised the old Vixen. It was imported by the organiser of the trip and now belongs to a young guy who also has a mint 63 Cooper S. Yes, it has been repainted all over. Runs a nice 1599 Cortina GT engine now on twin webbers - very nice

The Aston is gorgeous - stopped of at a body shop who is a TVR enthusiast. He bought the Aston 10 years ago. It had been stood for 20 year - went through the whole car and it is now concours.....yum yum Also had a 60s Elan and an MGA twin cam. Lucky git!!

Cheers

A bit off topic but I hope the guy with the flip-flops isn't the Pagani driver, or any other car come to think it.

[sshenton1975]

Errrrrrrr.......

Well that was me to be honest, not the Pagani driver (as that was at the factory), but the driver of the blue Cerbera

400 miles around Tuscany in 2 days and no problems!

It was bloody hot mate!
