Wishful Thinking?

[jonnychez]

Basically I want a TVR, I was excited enough at the prospect of acquiring a wedge, Anything above a 280i, My 306 GTi-6 puts them to shame (No offence to 280 owners). Recently I have noticed that the price on the early chimeras and griffs are getting more accessible.

After reading through many of the posts here I have come to the conclusion that most, if not all, of you are either very wealthy and/or mechanically competent enough to repair TVRs 'on the cheap'.

What sort of disposible budget does someone of limited (but not incompetent) mechanical knowledge and a very stretched wallet, need to own one and which ones tend to be the most reliable?

I'm quite tempted by a late 400se!

Many thanks

I should probably just read Andy's post :-P

Nice Car JMorgan.

What time is the meeting where in Caerleon and what club .

I put Nr Cardiff because its easier than trying to explain where Pen Y Bryn is.

Well the roads are pretty crap but the local car thieves can just about manage to nick a Y reg mini with the keys in the ignition so hopefully an imobillised TVR should just get away with a few (your car is better than mine) scratches down the side .

Nope. Just past Caerphilly towards Bargoed.

Couldn't make yesterday, had to follow orders and do more painting on the house .

I know that pub well, I used to live in Caerleon. Hopefully I can make it next time.
