Has anyone bought a "new" TVR ?

[JnP]

I saw on TVR's website that a Tuscan convertible is being fitted with one of their V8s. Has anyone ordered a new car or asked for a refit ?

Would be nice to see a few pictures of what they are offering.

And if I can get your opinion on why they are not making available other Corvette V8s such as the ZR1s...?

I saw a new sag in build on Monday at Raceproved.

That is the one of the old factory cars - it used to be silver

Apart from my fuel tank and a few other bits i feel like i've bought a new Griff, but i guess that don't count!

One picture looks like Dom's workshop so if it is there when I pop in on the 25th I'll have a nose around it.

Yeah - I was tallking to a mate the other day about the Tiv's supposed unreliability and we were both saying how good mine has been as it's not needed much doing to it over the last two years of ownership...

... other than the regulator on the alternator, and three radiators, two new batteries, new callipers discs and pads, new clutch, new idler pulley bearing for the main drive belt, new ball joints top and bottom, new wishbone bushes, new plugs, plug leads and extenders, new coil, new ignition amp module, new fuel pump, new fuel pump relay and ECU relay, new alarm, new wiper motor ...

...but other than that it's been good and now doesn't need much doing to it ...

... other than the dashboard re-veneering, the ECU and engine harness replaced with a new unit to get rid of this dying/misfiring issue, the carpets need changing, the door seals need doing, the wishbones are getting a bit rusty, needs the chassis mounting plates renewed for the next MOT and...

Hmmm.

When I picked up my T350 from Dom last year they had a Tuscan convertible in with an LS in it. I think this is the one found on the TVR website.

I know exactly what you mean ! And I haven't even started on chassis, body or interior yet !'
