Hi guys, this is i hope the first of many posts i will be making on the S series forum. I dont currently own an S but am planning to invest in an S2 some time next year.

The point of my new thread is not just to introduce myself and say hello to all S series nuts but to ask for some advice. I would like to know of any useful websites with general and specific information on the S series and companies that sell standard aswell as modificational parts etc etc.

Cheers

Steve

I think that should be www.tvrsseries.com by the way... Colin's (Pies) very informative site about all things S - also links to what other parts fit, etc.

also www.tvrcarparts.com - they bought a huge stock of S parts and can get anything, almost.

Welcone Steve...it would seem you have hit the sweet spot weatherwise for owning an S. Prepare for stretch lines around the mouth from grinning too much!

LOL at JONZO, Sadly i dont actually own an S yet im gathering all the information i can get before i take the plunge and purchase one next year ready for next summer.

mowog - as said above i dont have an S yet so i will feel like a prized idiot for going in convoy in a fiat punto lol. But thanks for the offer, and also thanks for the feel free to contact you offer aswell.

Hi Steve, I recently bought an S3. I also was supposed to wait a while (until I finished the bathroom and put my MGB back together abd sold that) however I took the same route as you asking questions and reading before looking at any cars. That part of the research doesnt take too long as this site alone is packed with info. Do the reading look at some cars and get one bought you wont regret it 's all the way..

p.s. I havent finished the bathroom or the MG yet but love my S

Go on, you know you wanna. Theres plenty of this year left yet........

Carl.

Good luck in your search.

Check out the bible - the closest thing to a workshop manual there is.

www.t-v-r-services.co.uk/tvrbooks/tvrbooks_home.html

Lots of useful information to help you when you are looking at cars and to explain some of the idiosyncracies of TVR manufacturing and model designation.

If you can get up to Silverstone for SCH3 you can look around just about every variation and talk to a lot of knowledgable people about what they are like to own and drive.
