Just spent 4 days in and around Sussex on a short break and only spotted 3 Tivs on the road and one parked! Saw as many boats on trailers on the road as Tivs! Where were you all?

Saturday passed a dark red Griff on A27 between Brighton and Lewes, Sunday mornig a green Tamora on A283 and a Red S travelling south on A3 near Guildford.

(Parked Tiv was green Tasmin in Petworth on Friday).

Sorry I couldn't wave, but I was in the tin top so you would only have thought I was either someone strange or an anorak type car spotter! Still, I'll wave now

Anyone on here?

I was in Brighton in my Imperial Blue Griff in the Old Steine, near the Pavillion for about two and half hours on Sunday afternoon. The reason I was there and the car was not moving was a knackered drive belt!

Saw a rather colourful yellow Cerb with green wheels go past and also hello to the Chim driver who acknowledged me. I was not a happy person though, sun was shining, roof was off and then that happened. First thing that's ever gone wrong either.

Cheers - Chris

Must have been a good morning for TVRs in Sussex - I was out and about and spotted a couple as well.

Spotted a black Tuscan on the A272 coming from Ansty towards Cuckfield ( I waved but didn't see a return wave )

Then a few miles further along at ‘Crossways’ by the roundabout where the slip road comes down from the south bound A27 I spot a Chimaera parked up ( This time I got a return wave )

Spielboy, do you mean the southbound A23, as I was parked up there waiting for the Burble convoy in the Chim and waved at a red Griff.

Was busy taking a friend of mine for a spin around Sussex ... she had pleading with me for a while to have a 'Trevor' experience !
