TVR Engines: What's the Truth?
Discussion
I'm seriously thinking about upgrading my 1999 Chim to a Tuscan S or Tamora.
Whichever I decide to go for I know I can't lose (it'll be a TVR after all) but I'm seriously worried about the integrity of the engines in both cars.
On the "If TVR went bust thread" one PistonHeader commented that there must be many potential Tuscan/Tamora buyers put off by such concerns.
I have to confess that my concern is based on nothing more than scare stories I have heard or read about.
I desperately want to put my money Blackpool's way (in fact I would rather stick with the Chim than buy another sports car) but I'm worried...
...but am I right to be concerned? Should I wait a couple of years for glitches to be ironed out and reliability to be proven (or otherwise)? My V8 powered Chimaera has given me not one problem (engine related or otherwise) but I do love those two new TVR models.
Whaddaya all think?
