TVR

[jacey boy]

Right guys, might be up for getting into a TVR, love the Tuscan, Sagaris and T350, tell me which ones to avoid as Judd engines and how much its gona cost me to maintain?

Thanks for the help

[lazyitus]

Don't feel you need to avoid any.

Buy one which you like and enjoy it.

Simple.

[ccharlie6]

don't think any of them are powered by judd engines!!!! would love it if they were proper le mans power then

[gazzab]

buying new ?
budget?
what is the max you want to spend per yr on maint and fixes?

[jacey boy]

Max I want to spend is £30k really, I really like the Tuscan S but have heard horror stories of rebuilds etc and dont want to get caught short

Just pop along to your local TVRCC meeting, I'm sure you will get all the help and advice you need. www.tvrcc-dorset.co.uk
The events page tells you when the next meet is. Happy hunting.

Theres a convoluted link between the AJP8, Melling and Judd.

The Tuscan, T350 and Sagaris are all only available in Speed6 flavour...

The Tuscan, Sagaris and T350 all have the same engine (TVR's in house Speed 6).

Comes in 3.6 and 4.0 flavours with different levels of tuning (red rose, s etc)

Can't be arsed to look up the thread but it's there somewhere.

I guess it was the somewhat flippant remark about Judd engines that made people think you'd done little research into a possible £30k purchase and were perhaps just on a wind-up.

[jacey boy]

I was just posting what I had been told by a Tuscan owner, he told me they were Judd engines in the S and speed 6!, if this was incorrect I am sorry, I assumed a guy that had owned the car since new in 2000 and it was 6 years old he would have known, sorry if I am wrong!!

[richb]

No apology needed - the bloke was wrong.

[jacey boy]

But was he right in the fact you need an engine rebuild all the time?

Yes, almost every day.

LOL, Yes, I have just had no less than seven rebuilds in the last hour alone!!!

Well if he thought his Tuscan had got a Judd engine in it, I'll leave you to come to your own conclusions! Rich...
