Hi all,

Have Owned TVR's for around 5 years now and they have not let me down once until today.

Have my chim on here for sale as am looking to buy a Cerb. The nicest couple you could ever wish to meet turned up to view it after travelling two hundred miles!

Took the chap out for a test drive and car as ever went like a dream. Returned to house to pick his wife and 2 minutes into the drive broke down!!!!.

It then proceeded to pour down with rain.

The problem turned out to be minor (loose HT lead). But understandably the couple scurried of into the distance.


What a great start to the day.

That's really bad luck - sort of thing we all dread happening immediately after we've made some comment like "very reliable, not like your typical TVR :nudge, nudge: ). Hard enough to get punters along at this time of the year when everyone's thinking about cash for the summer hols etc(bringing the wife too was a good sign).
