Finally tonight, it all came together:


Tomorrow afternoon, she goes for her first MOT since 2007.

I have a strange mixture of emotions right now. Trepidation, excitement.....

I have never actually driven this car, or indeed *any* TVR before, so tomorrow afternoon is going to be a big moment.
Limiting myself to 2500 RPM on the way to the test centre, and the old man's going to follow me in a landy with a tow-rope, just in case.

It's been a long hard road getting this far, but just to see her sat on the drive like that.
What a feeling it is smile

Thanks Zig!

Don't know how good your memory is, but this was the car you went after which was in Maidstone.
Let me tell you my friend, that you dodged a bullet! It's needed A LOT of work!

It'll be two years to the month since I bought it.
Looking forward to that first day out in the sun with the top down biggrinbiggrin
